Flip it for an 8-3\/4 inch rise or a 5-3\/4 inch drop, slide it into any 2 inch by 2 inch receiver, and level out your trailer. Simple, heavy steel, built to stay put on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Camco Eaz-Lift 48133 is one of those parts you don't think much about until your trailer's riding nose-up or dragging its tail. It's a 16-inch bolt-together hi\/low shank, and its whole job is getting your hitch ball to the right height so the trailer tows level. Set it up in the high position and you've got an 8-3\/4 inch rise. Flip it over to the low side and you get a 5-3\/4 inch drop. Between those two, most tow vehicle and trailer combinations can be dialed in to sit flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's why that matters. A trailer that isn't level doesn't just look off. It throws weight onto the wrong axle, wears your tires unevenly, and can make the whole rig feel squirrely at highway speed. If you're hauling a boat to the ramp behind a lifted truck, or towing a camper with a lower receiver, the stock ball mount height is almost never right. The 48133 gives you the adjustment range to fix that without buying a stack of fixed-drop mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of our customers reach for this one to tow a boat. Between the driveway, the highway, and a steep, slick launch ramp, a trailer that sits level backs straighter and stays planted when you're feathering the brakes down to the water. That's worth a lot when there's a line of trucks behind you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure whether you need the rise or the drop? Park the tow vehicle and trailer on level ground, hitched up the way you'd actually tow. Then eyeball the trailer frame. If the nose sits high, you need more drop, so run the shank in the low position. If the nose dips toward the road, flip it to the rise side to bring the tongue up. You want that trailer frame close to parallel with the ground once it's loaded, because that's when the axles share the weight the way they were designed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shank slides into any standard 2 inch by 2 inch receiver and pins in place like you'd expect, with a 5\/8 inch hitch pin and clip. The bolt-together design is what lets you reverse it for rise or drop, and it's also what makes it work as the adjustable shank in an Eaz-Lift weight distribution setup. Running a weight-distribution head? This shank bolts right up to it and gives the system the height adjustment it needs to load the spring bars evenly. Used on its own with a hitch ball, it's a straightforward adjustable ball mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest notes before you order. This is the 16-inch shank. If you need less reach, the Eaz-Lift line also offers the 48131 in a 14-inch length with the same rise and drop numbers, so match the shank length to how far your receiver sits from where the ball or head needs to be. And this part is the shank itself. A hitch ball and the ball-mounting hardware aren't included, so grab a ball rated for your trailer's loaded weight separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame goes for capacity. What this rig can safely pull comes down to your receiver, your ball, and your weight-distribution head, so match everything to the lowest-rated part in the chain and don't guess. It's cheap insurance to check the stamped ratings before a big trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's built from heavy steel, so it'll take years of ramp trips and back roads without complaint. We'd tell any boater towing a decent-size trailer that a level hookup is worth the ten minutes it takes to set the height right. Flip the shank to the correct side, pin it, torque the bolts, and re-check them after your first trip the way you would with any bolted hitch component. It's not a fancy part. It just does its one job well, and a level trailer tows better, stops shorter, and treats your tires a whole lot kinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16-inch shank length reaches farther back so the ball or weight-distribution head clears your bumper and spare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-3\/4 inch rise position for lifted trucks and higher tow vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-3\/4 inch drop position for lower receivers and taller trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBolt-together design reverses for either rise or drop from one part\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits any standard 2 inch by 2 inch receiver, no adapter needed on most trucks and SUVs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks as the adjustable shank in an Eaz-Lift weight distribution system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy steel construction stands up to years of towing and back roads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEaz-Lift part number 48133, backed by Camco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat is the rise and drop on the 48133?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt gives you an 8-3\/4 inch rise in the high position and a 5-3\/4 inch drop when you flip it to the low position.
