Expert Reply:
Yes, you will want to go through the setup procedure again when switching to the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank part # EQ90-02-4500 since you are changing the location of the connection point where the tongue weight is. That said, there should only be minor changes if any to the settings as instructed by a few of our past customers.
If you struggle with setting the system up, it may be worthwhile to check out the Equal-i-zer OnTarget Laser Measuring Tool for Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ37FR as it will allow you to set your system up much easier and faster without all the guesswork.
