GEN-Y 2" Hitch Weight Distribution Shank — 16,000 lb Towing Capacity

Product description

This GEN-Y weight distribution shank is manufactured to fit 2" GEN-Y receivers and is rated for a maximum towing capacity of 16,000 lb with a tongue weight limit of 1,700 lb. Each unit ships with a 5/8" hitch pin included for securing the shank in the receiver.

Built from heavy-gauge, heat-treated steel with a durable corrosion-resistant finish, the shank is intended to accept spring bars and other components used in most weight distribution setups. It is designed to plug into the receiver, be pinned in place with the supplied 5/8" pin, and work alongside your chosen weight distribution system to help control trailer sway and improve hitch load distribution.

Pros

  • High 16,000 lb towing capacity
  • Includes 5/8" hitch pin
  • Compatible with most weight distribution kits

Cons

  • Can add length and weight to the hitch assembly
  • Some users report alignment problems
  • May introduce extra pivot points in certain setups

VerdictA robust, versatile shank that mates with 2" GEN-Y receivers and the majority of weight distribution kits. It delivers the advertised 16,000 lb towing capacity and 1,700 lb tongue weight while including a 5/8" pin, but some buyers report fitment or alignment concerns. Strong construction and broad compatibility make it a reliable choice when it fits correctly.

Reviews

  1. fern2166 5/5

    Heavy-duty and solid

    Well made — I'd purchase this again.

  2. Henry CA 1/5

    Alignment trouble

    I had difficulty getting it to align properly and suspect a manufacturing defect.

  3. Daniel Rader 5/5

    Surprised by the ride

    I was worried about the added length and extra weight plus chatter about too many pivot points. Towed a 12,000 lb trailer from CA to KY with a 2003 Excursion using a TruTrac 15k WD system, and it handled the trip very well.

  4. TDSMotorsports 5/5

    Performs as expected

    Hooked up and operated exactly as designed.
