Extended Length Drop Shank To Clear Tailgate For Blue Ox Weight Distribution Hitches
Question:
I have a Blue Ox hitch to pull my Airstream trailer. I recently had to replace my electric jack. After doing so I am not able to lower my tailgate. Would you have a solution for this? Do you make a hitch extension or longer shaft?

Expert Reply:
You will be able to use the Extended Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600 which is 14" long from the hitch pin hole center to the bolt hole center for the hitch head. You can use this measurement to determine if you will have enough room for your tailgate to now clear your Blue Ox weight distribution hitch. This shank is compatible with the TrackPro # BLU77FR, SwayPro # BLU66FR and 2-Point # BLU75FR weight distribution hitches.
