It measures 14 cm
It doesn't matter what hole configuration you use, as long as the height is adequate.
The answer is yes. The wheels and tires are 18" long, 3" wide, 5" tall, and 2" thick
However, the pictures on their website that show 90024500 and 90024600 are swapped. I ordered the incorrect one based on this picture, but you have to take a look at the dimensions as well. When placing my order, I was trying to follow pictures on the Equalizer website. As a result, I had to return it and they did not offer me a full refund, even though I feel it was a mistake to begin with.

Perfect. Just what the doctor ordered. The ball had a smaller diameter than the adjusting hole on my old hitch shank, so I had to make the adjustment either by turning the adjusting hole or by compressing the ball. I prefer a 5" low, or a Depending on the orientation of the shank, it may be 5" too high. There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing a ball and this one provides just what I needed. Additionally, it is heavy and well built. I can also fold the tailgate down without scratching the receiver jack when I do so.
The trailer is now far enough back that the tailgate is clear of the jack head following the addition of this extra shank.
By using this extra long shank I was able to lower the tailgate on my Ford F150 even with the travel trailer hooked up and ready to tow. Prior to buying this shank, the tailgate would not fully open when I lowered it because it would come into contact with the trailer jack.
Some companies offer trailer receiver extensions, however beware of the fact that they greatly reduce the rated towing weight and tongue weight. I found this shank to be of good quality and durable. Compared to the original shank, the gusset on this one is at least three times larger. This is definitely a product I would highly recommend.
The shank I received is much better than I expected. Now that I've opened my tailgate on my 2005 F150, I can go into the cab. My 21 foot toy hauler towed fine even with the extra length, but I was worried about how it would change the towing.
My camper could be towed with my tailgate down with no problem thanks to the spacious area.
I am pleased with this shank. It allowed me to have 5 1/2 inches between my tailgate and the electric lift and jack on my Ram 2500.
