Rob: I ordered this hitch last spring and found after delivery that it does not include a shank. James B.

Rob: I ordered this same hitch last spring and found out after delivery, that it does not come with the shank. James

Rob: The shank depends on the height of both your vehicle that will be pulling your trailer and the trailer's level height. I found a good explanation and video on Etrailer.com. James B.

No problem at all as the hardware is attached to the frame rails and hangs below the frame rails. My trailer weighs about 6,000 loaded and I compress the bushing to 2.6 inches and that is perfect for my set-up. Once you get yours dialed in you will love it. Very easy to hook up, no sway control to disconnect when backing in and it is silent as well. I bought a ratchet wrench to adjust the nuts and it works very well. Enjoy!!

It is all that holds the rack to the hitch. You should tighten the bolt all the way, also make sure the piece that goes into the hitch is tight as well. I beleive this is tightened with the supplied hex wrench. I've had mine for three years traveling all over with no wobbles.

The company that installed mine reused my old shank. I do not see any reason to change it out. Both shanks are just as sturdy.

Mine came complete with everything needed to install the hitch. Very easy to install. You will need to purchase the ball mount and ball. Hope this helps.

This does not come with the hitch ball. I have copied and pasted the following from the manual. NOTICE Using a hitch ball with a shank longer than 2-3/8" may damage the Equal-i-zer hitch head and could void your warranty. Select a ball with a 1-1/4" diameter threaded shank no longer than 2-3/8". Hitch balls with a longer shank may damage the hitch. You need to buy the ball in addition to the hitch. I bought the equalizer brand ball knowing that this would come with the proper length shank. http://www.amazon.com/Equal-i-zer-91006120-Hitch-Ball/dp/B007HRKBNK/ref=pd_sim_auto_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1BMC88HGHRC0K1BSMRYN I hope this helps! Also, if your asking about the ball size, again it doesn't come with one, so you can get the size you need. One thing to remember, is the ball is rated for weight just like the hitch. This hitch your asking about is rated at 12000 LBS, so make sure the ball is rated the same. (I noticed at wally world the balls were only rated at 6000 LBS.)

The hitch has been great. I'm sure the brackets will work. Call hitch Source or the manufacturer to confirm bracket size, I'm not around mine currently to measure, but I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the hitch!

It might. I replaced a Thule two bike hitch rack with the swagman rack. Visually this piece which I bought looks very much like a similar threaded locking pin I got from Thule. Since Thule makes locking pins best bet might be to buy one of those.

No. It comes with two bolts for the hitch. The larger one allows you to tighten the rack to the hitch good so that it does not sway. It is on firm.

I installed hitch by myself. This is separate thing: CURT 13068 Class III Receiver HitchAnd rack and hitch are incompatible, AllenSports declared that this bike rack is for 2" hitch but this is not true.

Leslie:The hitch fit like it was factory installed. Not difficult to install at all. I would recommend buying a reamer to clean the threads. It was about $ 17.00, but made the installation much easier. Good luck

Yes, it does come with a hitch adapter. The adapter fits around the smaller bar and the longer locking pin is also provided.

I looked up that Reece model number and all I found was a bar (much like this) but I assume you have a weight distribution hitch too and need a longer bar than the one that came with your set. If so this bar will work. These bars are universal fit for WD hitches. I bought this because the bar that came with mine was not long/low enough. So likely same reason you're looking at this item too. After a season of using. I've been very happy with this product.

I had no problem attaching the shank. Beware. The problem for me was no feet generic or brand name would attach and be functional. Your dealer should provide a free replacement. See if they have the shank in an all metal version.

Sometimes other shanks will work but not guaranteed they will work and if you use another manufacturers shank it will void the warranty on the hitch.

I agree with the other estimated weights (30-40 lbs) It was easy to install and works GREAT! I highly recommend the hitch!

The shank inserts into a 2" receiver found on any full size truck with tow package. FYI ...You will need a ball for the trailer you are pulling. Not included.
