Is there a Longer Weight Distribution Shank for a B&W Continuum?

Question

Question:

Has B and W developed a longer 2 1/2inch shank for the Continuum WDH yet. I bought one of these last year and have purchased a golf cart and cannot take it on trips with the tailgate open due to the short 2 1/2inch shank that came with it. I really do not want to purchase another WDH to use. Thanks

Sorry Chris but they have not. I checked with B&W and they only offer the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution Head Assembly item # BW68FR that comes with the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System item # BW28FR.

@LarryK No, sorry. That question is only a couple of weeks old and there's been no change in the availability for a longer shank on the B&W Continuum item # BW68FR.

The B and W Continuum #BW78FR weights 110 lbs but this does not count against the tongue weight capacity of your hitch. B and W states that this essentially becomes a part of the vehicle hitch so it's additional weight does not need to get…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

To be completely honest the sway control feature of the B and W Continuum part #BW78FR isn't nearly as advanced as the rest of the system. The advertised sway control of this system is in the head of the system between where the ball and the…

The B&W Continuum #BW78FR and the Reese Strait-Line #RP66083 are both great systems. The B&W Continuum is going to be easier to set up, but as far as sway control goes, I definitely have to give the edge to the Reese Strait-Line. The…

That is definitely a feature which worries me about the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System #BW78FR. While there is not a specific measurement I can give you as the bars move up and down depending on the load placed on the bars, B&W…

Thanks for the pictures! No, I am sorry Richard you can not. The B&W Continuum item #BW78FR only works with frames that are 5" and 6" tall. Instead, I recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control…
