Equal-i-zer Hitch 14,000 lb GTW Made in USA Equal-i-zer 14-2930 Weight Distribution Shank -- 4" Drop, 2" Receiver, 12" Length

A purpose-built solid steel shank for Equal-i-zer sway control and weight distribution hitches that are sold without a shank. With a 4" drop, 8" rise, and 12" shank length, this unit fits standard 2" receiver tubes and handles up to 14,000 lbs GTW and 1,400 lbs tongue weight -- covering the full capacity range of the most popular Equal-i-zer head units.

The Right Shank Makes or Breaks Your Setup

Weight distribution hitches only work correctly when your coupler, ball mount, and receiver are properly aligned. A shank with the wrong drop or rise forces your hitch head to compensate -- reducing sway control effectiveness and putting uneven stress on the frame. The Equal-i-zer 14-2930 is engineered specifically for Equal-i-zer head units, with the correct mounting hole pattern, spacing, and steel grade to handle the four-point sway control system at full rated capacity.

This shank is the right choice when your Equal-i-zer hitch was purchased as a head-only unit, when your original shank was lost or damaged, or when you are upgrading from a lighter shank to one rated for the full 14,000 lb GTW range.

Heavy-Duty Steel

Solid steel construction with a dipped painted, corrosion-resistant finish -- built to withstand road grime, moisture, and the constant stress of weight distribution loads.

Full GTW Rating

Rated to 14,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 1,400 lbs tongue weight -- matching the capacity ceiling of the 90-00-1400 Equal-i-zer head unit.

6-Hole Mounting Pattern

Six mounting holes spaced 1-1/4" apart provide the adjustment range needed to dial in proper hitch head angle across a wide variety of tow vehicles and trailer combinations.

Made in the USA

Manufactured domestically to Equal-i-zer's quality standards. Backed by a limited 90-day manufacturer warranty.

Fitment and Compatibility

This shank is confirmed compatible with the following Equal-i-zer weight distribution head units:

  • 90-00-0600 -- 600 lb tongue weight / 6,000 lb GTW model
  • 90-00-1000 -- 1,000 lb tongue weight / 10,000 lb GTW model
  • 90-00-1200 -- 1,200 lb tongue weight / 12,000 lb GTW model
  • 90-00-1400 -- 1,400 lb tongue weight / 14,000 lb GTW model

It is not a universal shank. It is designed for Equal-i-zer four-point sway control head units only, and requires a standard 2" receiver tube on the tow vehicle. Verify your receiver size before ordering -- 1-7/8" and 2-5/16" receivers are not compatible without an adapter sleeve.

Shank sold separately from the hitch head. If your Equal-i-zer hitch was purchased as a bundle and already included a shank, confirm that your existing shank's drop and rise match your vehicle-to-trailer height differential before purchasing a replacement. A 4" drop / 8" rise shank is appropriate when the tow vehicle receiver sits approximately 4" higher than the trailer coupler height, or requires 8" of rise after hitching to achieve level tow.

Drop vs. Rise -- Which Do You Need?

This shank provides 4" of drop from the receiver center to the hitch head mounting position, and 8" of rise in the opposite orientation. To determine which orientation you need:

  • Measure the height of your tow vehicle receiver opening from the ground.
  • Measure the height of your trailer coupler from the ground with the trailer level.
  • If the receiver is higher than the coupler, you need drop. If it is lower, you need rise.
  • The difference determines how much drop or rise is needed -- in this case, approximately 4" of drop or 8" of rise.
Weight: This shank weighs 35 lbs on its own. Factor this into your tow vehicle payload calculation alongside the Equal-i-zer head unit, spring arms, and hardware when assessing total hitch system weight.
Maintenance Tip: Inspect the shank's corrosion-resistant finish annually. Touch up any chips or scratches with a rust-inhibiting paint to extend service life, especially if the tow vehicle is operated in salted road conditions.

Important Information -- Read Before Installing
  • This shank is designed exclusively for Equal-i-zer four-point sway control hitch head units. Do not use with other brands or hitch systems.
  • Maximum GTW of 14,000 lbs and tongue weight of 1,400 lbs are absolute limits. Exceeding these ratings is unsafe and voids the warranty.
  • Always verify that your tow vehicle's receiver is rated to handle the full GTW and tongue weight you plan to tow -- the shank rating does not override the vehicle or receiver rating.
  • This listing is for the shank only. The Equal-i-zer hitch head, spring arms, sway control brackets, and hardware are sold separately.
  • Do not use with 1-7/8" or 2-5/16" receivers without a properly rated adapter sleeve. Misfit receivers create a dangerous load path.
  • Inspect all mounting hardware, pins, and clips for wear or corrosion before each towing season. Replace any compromised hardware immediately.
  • Warranty is limited to 90 days from purchase. Retain your receipt.
