installed new equalizer 14k hitch today

With the help of my buddy in one of the pics and the use and help of my father's awesome tools we got her done! Riding nice now. I also upgraded the trailer tires to load range E.

What drop shank did you use? I need a new shank going from a 1/2 ton to 1 ton and I'm trying to decide what I need. we have a Jayco 28BHBE trailer.

OP, nice wrench! You are gonna like that WDH, they are really good quality!

I used a 9" drop shank for my 2015 2500 and a 2015 Jayco 29QBS.

Lol yeah that torque wrench is a nice one. Part of my father's heavy equipment arsenal of tools that my brother and I will inherit someday soon if my dad doesn't sell them off when he retires in the next couple years.

I used the curt c17123 shank. Honestly I think I could have used the standard shank that comes with the standard kit. I ordered the kit without the shank and ordered the curt shank in place just to be sure I had enough drop. My trailer sits high though and I did not need hardly any drop. I think I am only on the second set of holes from top. So now I have a plow hanging under truck. Lol

I used the EQ90-02-4800 on mine. I hated the 2" with adapter rattling around. The 4" drop is perfect with my 2500 and 287BHBE

NewBlackDak, Thanks! That's exactly what I needed. Are you in the middle of the travel or at the bottom of the drop? Just curious if you know. I didn't know if I needed the EQ9002-4900...

It's at the bottom, but I really need to move it up. The trailer rides slightly nose down. It tows fine, so I haven't bothered to change it
