Shank offers up to a 7" rise and a 3" drop for your Equal-i-zer weight distribution system. Measures 12" long and fits 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" trailer hitches.This is a perfect replacement for my blue ox 2 inch receiver shank. This shank is 2.5 inches and fits great. No more sleeve to take up the space from 2inch to 2.5 inch.
The 2 1/2” shaft works great on my F 250. It eliminates the need for a sleeve when using a 2” shaft. The 2 1/2” shaft fit my existing Equalizer hitch with no problems.
I have been using a spacer to increase my 2 inch shank to a 2 1/2 inch. Too much play was starting to occur in and it was noticeable on starts and stops when towing my airstream. This fit perfectly, and was easy to replace the original 2 inch shank. Shipping was easy arrived on time and very satisfied with my purchase. I’ve ordered other items from each trailer and they have always been exactly as I ordered it on time.
Thank you E trailer Dr. Dean .
Fits perfectly, now the slop is gone from the 2” shank and the 2”/2 1/2” adapter. Actually arrived a day early.
Good service

Hey George, if this mail goes thru. I adapted a set up for the hitch when i park. I used 2 pieces of welded angle iron and welded the adapter to them. Then i bolted the assembled part to the a frame, behind battery box.
Mike helped me choose the proper shank, we ordered it and it was delivered quickly. The process was quick and easy.
Stepped up from the 2" version of this shank after stepping up to a truck with a 3" receiver. Exact replacement for the old shank, albeit with less play due to reducers. Will be towing a 38' TT from AZ to IL in the upcoming week and am now looking a bit more forward to the tow!
Part looked used, scratches and slight rust. Was ready to send back, but painted it to correct the imperfections.
Super heavy duty. Exactly what I wanted.
Shaft is pretty solid and hefty , fits the hitch pretty tight , everything swapped over from other shaft I was given when I bought the camper and had almost 2.5 inches of play including the insert from 2.5 to 2 inch.
Great price and was delivered a day early! I had been putting off upgrading from a 2 inch shank to a 2.5 inch shank for years.. What a mistake! Do it now!. Removing the internal 2 inch shank reducer in the hitch and installing the 2.5 shank has made the towing much smoother and secure. I should have done this years ago!!! Just completed a 1500 mile round trip, what a game changer!....
Order was fast and quick. I wanted to upgrade the hitch and arms to the 14K from the 10K Equalizer set up. The arms are larger giving me the added lift I needed. I also was tired of the additional play in my Ford OEM receiver so I ordered from them the 21/2" stinger. I transferred hardware over including the ball and everything is much better. I have little to no play now trailer is level and all sway is gone. Thank you etrailer for always recommending the right products and having what I need. I will always use you and recommend you to all my friends!
Excellent, this product allows me to set my ball at the correct height to pull my trailer level
My 2" square shank with 2" to 2 1/2" adapter was very sloppy in my Silverado 2500 HD receiver and I noticed the pin hole was beginning to elongate slightly due to the slop. This 2 1/2" weight distribution shank proved to be a direct replacement for the Eaz Lift WD set up I have and works perfectly. It fits very well into my receiver with minimum slop and the corners are beautifully machined. I'm sure the pin hole elongation problem will be minimized now. Great product and recommended.

Works great. No issues.
I'm thankful to find this shank that is already adapted to fit my stock heavy duty hitch which is 1/2" larger than what is common on most tow packages. Being able to use this instead of an adapter collar is a pure solid feel, one less part to keep track of and a fair price. Thank you for the quick shipping and good customer service to ensure me this was the part I was looking for.

This is one heavy duty shank. The initial adjustments I made to it have stayed in place and no back off of any bolts.
The shank is exactly what it says it is. I needed the hitch head about even with the receiver on the truck, this one allowed that. I would of given it 5 stars but etrailers service was extremely disappointing. First it took them a week to actually ship it and they put this 25 pound piece of steel into a single cardboard box with a bit of paper around it. Obviously the box didn't survive the trip. I thought you guys were suppose to be good at this? You should take lesson from [other company] on how to pack materials.
It fits our hitch perfectly. Just as described on your website. Thanks. Loved all the pictures at all angles. Very helpful!
Shank is of high quality, however the packaging for shipping was terrible the box was destroyed, and the paint on the shank is messed up.
Fits very nicely in my GMC 3500 receiver tube. I like that I don’t have to use the spacer
Arrived on time. One of the few vendors that had this part in stock.
Solid and well built. Eliminates having to use another reducer on my 3 inch receiver.
Great service as well as great products
After the initial wrong part delivery, etrailer worked hard to quickly fix the situation and send me the correct part. The new part was correct and works great!
Bought a chevy 2500,had a 21/2" receiver. Replaced the shank instead of using 2" insert,this way no extra play in receiver. Works great.
