Equal-i-zer Hitch Part 90-02-4600 Made in USA Equal-i-zer Adjustable Shank -- 2" Receiver, 4" Drop, 8" Rise, 18" Length

The Equal-i-zer 90-02-4600 is a solid steel adjustable hitch shank designed to pair with Equal-i-zer 4-point sway control weight distribution hitches. Whether you are replacing a worn shank, upgrading to a different drop configuration, or building out a head-only hitch setup, this shank fits standard 2" receiver tubes and handles tow ratings from 6,000 to 14,000 lbs. GTW.

The Right Shank for Serious Towing

Getting the right drop or rise on your hitch shank is one of the most important steps to achieving a level tow. A trailer that sits nose-high or nose-low throws off weight distribution, reduces sway control effectiveness, and accelerates coupler and frame wear. The 90-02-4600 gives you a 4" drop on one end and an 8" rise on the other, so you can flip the shank to match your tow vehicle and trailer combination -- no guesswork, no shimming.

The adjustment measurement for Equal-i-zer shanks is taken from the inside top of the receiver tube to the base of the hitch ball mount. Mounting holes are incrementally spaced at every 1-1/4" in the center of the shank, giving you multiple positioning options for the hitch head. This shank is compatible with Equal-i-zer sway control hitch heads rated 6K to 14K and can also be used with many other brands of adjustable hitch heads that accept a standard 2" shank profile.

Dual-Position Design

4" drop on one side, 8" rise on the other. Flip the shank to suit your rig without buying a second shank.

Incremental Hole Spacing

Mounting holes spaced every 1-1/4" along the center for precise hitch head positioning and level tow adjustment.

Solid Steel Construction

Machined from solid steel bar stock and corrosion-dipped for long-term durability in all-weather towing conditions.

Made in USA

Manufactured domestically to Equal-i-zer's quality standards. Designed specifically for the Equal-i-zer 4-point sway control system.

Fitment and Compatibility

This shank fits any standard 2" receiver tube and is the correct replacement or upgrade shank for Equal-i-zer sway control hitch models rated from 6,000 to 14,000 lbs. GTW. It is sold without a hitch head -- intended for use when a shank-only replacement is needed or when purchasing a head-only Equal-i-zer hitch unit.

  • Fits standard 2" receiver tubes on most tow vehicles (trucks, SUVs, Class A and Class C motorhomes used as base vehicles)
  • Compatible with Equal-i-zer 6K, 10K, 12K, and 14K 4-point sway control hitch heads
  • Also compatible with many other brands of adjustable hitch heads using a standard 2" shank interface
  • Not designed for 2-5/16" or 1-7/8" ball-only setups -- this is a shank for use with a separate hitch head assembly
Reversible Drop/Rise: The 90-02-4600 provides both a 4" drop and an 8" rise in a single shank. Measure from the inside top of your receiver to the ball mount base to confirm which orientation achieves a level trailer tongue before tightening the hitch head.

Corrosion Protection

The shank is dipped for corrosion resistance after fabrication. This coating helps protect the solid steel core against road salt, moisture, and the grime that accumulates on the underside of a tow vehicle. For maximum service life, periodically inspect the shank for coating wear or surface rust, especially if you tow in coastal or snow-belt environments.

Maintenance Tips:
  • Remove the shank from the receiver periodically to prevent galvanic seizure, especially with aluminum receivers.
  • Apply anti-seize compound to the shank body before insertion if the rig sits for long periods between trips.
  • Inspect the mounting holes and hitch head hardware for wear at each season start.
  • Torque the receiver hitch pin or bolt to your tow vehicle receiver's specification -- do not over-torque solid steel shanks.

What Is Included

This listing is for the shank only (part 90-02-4600). The Equal-i-zer hitch head, spring arms, ball, and receiver pin are not included. If you need a complete hitch system, see the full Equal-i-zer 4-point sway control hitch kits listed separately on rvupgradestore.com.

Shank Only -- Head Not Included: This part replaces or upgrades the shank on an existing Equal-i-zer hitch. If you are building a new setup, you will need to purchase the hitch head assembly separately.

Important Information
  • This shank is rated for use with Equal-i-zer hitch heads in the 6,000 to 14,000 lb. GTW range -- do not use this shank to exceed the rated capacity of your hitch head assembly.
  • Fits standard 2" receiver tubes only. Confirm your receiver size before ordering -- this shank will not fit 1-1/4" or 2-1/2" receivers without adapters (adapters are not recommended for weight distribution applications).
  • This is a shank-only part. The hitch head, spring arms, ball mount, and hardware are sold separately.
  • Always confirm level tow attitude before driving. Incorrect drop/rise selection can reduce weight distribution effectiveness and increase trailer sway.
  • Verify all mounting hardware is properly torqued before every tow. Inspect for wear, cracks, or coating damage at regular intervals.
  • Equal-i-zer recommends professional installation if you are unfamiliar with weight distribution hitch setup and adjustment procedures.
