I have been looking at buying the adapter that gen-y makes to put a weight distribution hitch into the gen-y hitch receiver. Does anybody use one? https://genyhitch.com/product/gen-y-weight-distribution-shank/?attribute_pa_receiver-size=2-receiver-10k-16k&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtsv7BRCmARIsANu-CQee2I7qaLUBzM_RvhiIIHIw4dbryae2Go86yNV26_GNP0OyMgCFcboaAv2HEALw_wcB Thanks for any advice. Not sure the gen-y hitch is so good that I would want to buy another with the weight distribution shank built in. mkirsch • View posts Rochester, NY Senior Member Joined: 04/09/2004 View Profile Posted: 09/29/20 07:38am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Never heard of it. After having looked at the website, I do not see the point. What does putting the big clunky thing in between your receiver and your WD shank buy you?

Why have all that extra mass and hitch distance? Besides that being a rediculously overpriced shank (which does the same thing as any other shank), it's adjustable, so why bother with the extra adjustments and hitch slop with the Gen-y platform?

A WD hitch would not work on their regular products.
