Review of CURT Weight Distribution Shank - C17122 Video

If you want to just add on some sort of extension you can use Safety Chain Quick Link #C82932 which has a working load limit of 3300-lbs. This will give you about 3-inches additional length. Ideally trailer safety chains will be one continuous chain,…

So it looks like you are using a sleeve adapter to fit a weight distribution shank designed for a 2 inch hitch into a 2-1/2 inch hitch. Because of that your easiest solution would be to use a longer weight distribution shank. I'd go with the Curt…

When used in the drop position and not the rise, the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank #EQ90-02-4600 should not make any contact with the tail gate or create any issues with limiting the turning radius. I actually found a photo that one of our…

The Titan Hitch Box Extension for 2-1/2 inch Trailer Hitches, item #RP45018, has two different ratings because if towed with a weight distribution system (see link) you will be able to tow higher capacities. If the extension is used as a weight…

Sounds like you have a friction sway control weight distribution (WD) system like the Reese Steadi-Flex #RP66561 or the Equal-i-zer #EQ37140ET. Pretty much all sway control setups use friction and that's what those loud popping and creaking…

If you have a 2-1/2 inch hitch installed on your truck then you can use a hitch extender like the Curt part #C45048 which can give you from 24 to 34 inches of extension. You should note that when you use this extender the towing capacity is 6,000…

If the 21-1/2" measurement that you took on your 2018 Chevy Silverado is from the ground to the top of the inside of the trailer hitch receiver and the 16" of your trailer is from the ground to the bottom of your coupler then that means you…

That's a very cool bike so I can see why you want to bring it but the issue is that any type of extension is going to reduce your tongue weight capacity by 50 percent which is not something you will be able to do. The only thing you can do to add…

To gain clearance between the trailer and your truck you can replace the existing adjustable shank on your Fastway Weight Distribution System with the Equal-i-zer #EQ90-02-4500 (max 7" rise or 3" drop) or #EQ90-02-4600 (max 8" rise or…

As long as you do not exceed the 15,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) and 1,500 lb tongue weight (TW) rating of the Curt Weight Distribution Shank part #C17122 then you should have no problems switching from a 9" long shank to a 14" long…

Though we have a close option, we will not have a 2-1/2 inch by14 inch minimum shank that will work with the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution #EQ37101ET. We will not offer a 14 inch shank for a 2-1/2 inch hitch. You will have to stick with your…

I verified with Gen-Y hitch that their torsion ball mounts, like part #325-GH-1225, can be used with other manufacturer's weight distribution systems, however it isn't the best option. Instead of one of the torsion ball mounts I recommend the…
