Replacement adjustable shank for Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch systems. Fits 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers and provides the attachment point between the tow vehicle receiver and the e2 hitch head. Rated for 1,200 lb tongue weight. Maximum rise is 7-3/4" for both round bar and trunnion bar systems; maximum drop is 5-1/4" for round bar systems and 3-1/4" for trunnion bar systems.
The Fastway 92-02-4213 e2 Adjustable Shank is used with Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch systems to help set the hitch head at the correct height for level towing. It slides into a standard 2" x 2" trailer hitch receiver and provides the vertical adjustment needed to match the tow vehicle receiver height to the trailer coupler height.
This shank has a 12" overall length, 9-1/2" overall height, and six adjustment holes spaced 1-1/4" apart on center. The available rise and drop depend on whether the shank is used with a round bar or trunnion bar e2 system, making this a useful replacement or alternate-fit shank when the original shank does not provide the correct setup height.
Designed for use with Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch systems

The maximum rise and drop depend on the style of Fastway e2 hitch being used. Round bar system: Maximum rise is 7-3/4" and maximum drop is 5-1/4". Trunnion bar system: Maximum rise is 7-3/4" and maximum drop is 3-1/4". Always confirm your hitch style, receiver size, tongue weight rating, and required drop/rise measurement before ordering.
The shank is selected based on the height difference between the tow vehicle receiver and the trailer coupler when the trailer is level. Step 1: Park the tow vehicle and trailer on level ground. Step 2: Measure from the ground to the inside top edge of the tow vehicle's receiver opening. Step 3: Measure from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is level. Step 4: Compare the two measurements. If the receiver is higher than the coupler, you need drop. If the coupler is higher than the receiver, you need rise. Round bar setup: This shank provides up to 5-1/4" drop or 7-3/4" rise. Trunnion bar setup: This shank provides up to 3-1/4" drop or 7-3/4" rise. If your required drop or rise is outside this range, choose a different e2 shank size.
