Common questions about Hayman Reese Drop Shank - Standard

How do I know my current shank has run out of adjustment?

Hitch up on level ground and sight along the van. If it is nose-up or nose-down with your existing shank at its last hole, you are out of range, and no amount of chain adjustment will fix it. That is when a different drop is the answer.

Does a van towing nose-high really matter?

It does. A van that runs nose-high shifts weight off the tow vehicle's front wheels, which takes the edge off your steering and braking, and it makes sway more likely at speed. Getting the coupling level is the simplest handling fix available to you.

Will it suit an older Hayman Reese hitch?

It is listed for post-2011 Standard and Classic heads, so an older head is a check-before-you-buy job. Take a photo of your head and the shank currently in it, measure across the clamp and match it, rather than assuming the pattern stayed the same through the years.
