The Gen-Y Hitch BOSS Torsion-Flex Weight Distribution Shank helps make towing more comfortable with built-in rubber torsion suspension that absorbs road shock and softens harsh movement between your truck and trailer. Unlike a traditional rigid shank, the Torsion-Flex design helps reduce bouncing and repeated jolts. Gen-Y reports up to a 90% smoother ride, helping protect your cargo while making long-distance towing more comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to work with compatible weight distribution hitch systems, the BOSS replaces a traditional rigid shank with a cushioned, adjustable connection. Its suspension helps reduce stress on your truck, trailer, and towing equipment while giving you more control over rough roads. Multiple mounting positions allow you to adjust the height of your weight distribution hitch head to help keep your trailer properly positioned. This makes it a practical upgrade for drivers who want a smoother towing experience without replacing their entire weight distribution setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 16K and 21K towing capacities with 2-inch and 2.5-inch receiver options, these heavy-duty configurations offer adjustable drop heights ranging from 12.5 to 17.5 inches.
