Trailer ball size and shank ???

[kfcflores]

I have a couple questions guys. I have a 2006 keystone outback 27RSDS. I use the EAZ-LIFT wd setup with the round bent bars. My brother and I both went in on the trailer and will be alternating who tows. I picked up the trailer from the dealer and the hitch reciever head was adjusted perfectly for my vehicle so I didn't have to adjust anything.

When we went to hook up to my brothers vehicle we discovered his reciever hole is much lower than mine and he needs a rise shank. I have a tahoe, he has an avalanche. So needless to say we have been searching high and low for a reciever head only which are hard to find for a decent price.

So you have background, now the questions??

What size ball does my coupler take, (2 or 2 5/16). The trailer is at storage so can't measure easily.

Second question, are the shanks able to be flipped and used both ways. Some of the used heads I am finding are bolted on shank as a drop, can I unbolt, flip shank and rebolt. The avalanche needs about a 6 inch rise.

Thanks for input guys.

Shanks can be flipped for use as either a riser or a drop.

Take a look on craigslist or etrailer. I believe that there are a few other hitch manufacturers that have hitches that will accept the Eaz Lift bars.
Found this on etrailer: http://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-...s/PS58442.html You can also buy a shank with the rise or drop you need. Sometimes it is cheaper to buy the whole WD setup vice the individual parts.

2 5/16" is the correct size for that trailer and the shanks can be flipped and used either way in most cases.
