## Description

When it comes to enjoying your passion, we think towing equipment should never be the limiting factor. This CURT weight distribution replacement shank is designed for heavy-duty towing, versatile adjustment of your weight distribution hitch and long-lasting reliability. Made from high-strength steel and tested for safety, this WD replacement shank is perfect for a variety of tough jobs and long journeys. It is compatible with all CURT weight distribution hitches and has a 2" shank with a 5/8" hitch pin hole to fit any 2" x 2" receiver tube opening with a 5/8" hitch pin hole, including most CURT class 3, class 4 and Xtra Duty class 5 trailer hitches. While the receiver tube shank measures 2" x 2", the vertical shank offers a universal fit to be compatible with all CURT weight distribution hitches. Holes in the vertical shank are spaced 1-1/4" center-to-center and have a 3/4" diameter, allowing for flexible adjustment of the WD head for precise leveling of the vehicle-trailer combination. This weight distribution shank can be positioned in the rise position for a maximum rise of 8-7/8" or flipped into the drop position for a maximum drop of 5-5/8". To ensure durability and long-lasting use, CURT weight distribution replacement shanks are constructed from solid steel and shielded with a highly durable carbide black powder coat finish. This protects them from rain, snow, dirt, road salt and much more for lasting corrosion resistance.

Review: Gave enough drop for F250 on 10k camper. - Quality product seems very solid. Used this on my 2016 superduty to get enough drop for our 30 ft. TT. I used it with our EAZ Lift WD set up as the shank that came with it was not able to drop the head low enough to level the camper for towing on this new truck. This CURT shank does extend outwards a little longer but that is no big deal for me and may be of benefit to some as it would allow more room to drop the tailgate while hitched up. I would like to have found a 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 with this much available drop but this will do just have to use the adapter sleeve for the class V hitch. Any class V shank i found did not provide this much drop. Overall I would recommend this to others especially when you factor the price into the equation...desertcart prime made this a very easy purchase.
