Video Transcript for Measuring for Weight Distribution Review

Today were going to show you how to measure for a weight distribution shank. It looks kind of confusing with the different lengths and amount of holes on it and different measurements. Were going to keep it basic and simple so you can pick out the right one the first time and well show the steps that are needed to do that. First thing we do is get two measurements, we need to measure from the bottom of the coupler down to the ground. Also we need to measure from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground. The difference between the two measurements will tell us what size shank to get. Well make that 13 1/2 inches and looks like we have a measurement of 21 inches. With some simple math, the difference will be 7 1/2 inches, so we need to find a that is close to that. The closest one we have is part # 3344. That part will have a eight inch total so that will be as close as we can get. Well check that out to make sure it works. With our measurements in hand, lets go ahead and test it. As you can see the ball height is the same as the coupler so it looks like a perfect match.

Good solid product. The box it shipped in was trashed as was the brake controller box that was also inside. Not the best packaging but oh well. E Trailer is still a great source and I would definitely use again. 52475

Excellent service. Product arrived as promised. Product does not have Reese brand name on it anywhere, but the specs match the Reese product literature. But the most important fact of this order is that the product is stamped: "MADE IN THE USA".49751

These are pics of RP3344 installed on my 2011 Dodge Ram. The hitch is still not perfect. I need two more inches of drop to have the trailer level. It is inclined up as it sets on the ball rather than flat. Not e the truck is real close to level. 15254

Expert Answers about Reese Weight Dist Shank - Drop Only - 11" Long - 7-5/8", 8-5/8" Drop - 1,400 lbs TW - RP3344                                            Do you have a question about this Accessories and Parts?


  • Drop Dimensions of 11 Inch Weight Distribution Shank # RP3215
  • The minimum drop is 4-1/2 inches, the maximum is 6-7/8 inches and it adjusts by 1-1/4 inch increments. Since you need a drop of 3-1/2 inches, # RP3215 is not the best option for your application. Part # AMAC1 has a maximum drop of 3-3/8 inches which is close enough to 3-1/2 inches. It has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 2,000 pounds and maximum trailer weight of 10,000 pounds. If you have a heavier trailer weight, you can use part # RP54977. It has a minimum drop of 3-1/4 inches which

  • Correct Weight Distribution Shank to Provide 1-1/2 Inches of Drop
  • Since there is a 1-1/2 inch drop needed, I would recommend the Reese Weight Distribution Shank, part # RP54970. When used in the drop position with a trunnion bar system, it offers 1-1/4 inches of drop which would be just about perfect. The 1/4 inch difference would be nothing to worry about, as the truck would settle a bit once the trailer is hitched.

  • Choosing Weight Distribution Shank with the Correct Rise or Drop
  • To choose the correct rise/drop needed for weight distribution shank, you will need to determine the height of the trailer coupler when it is level. If the top of the trailer hitch receiver is higher than this measurement (which is most likely the case with your Suburban) you will need a shank that offers a drop equal to the difference. I have linked to a help article that shows how to measure for the rise or drop needed, as well as link to a video showing how to measure for a weight distri

  • Can a Reese Weight Distribution Shank be Used with a Curt Weight Distribution Head
  • In terms of compatibility, it depends on which components of a weight distribution system you are referring to. For example, Curt spring bars will not fit in a Reese head nor will Reese bars fit in a Curt head. But, if you are talking about the shank, a Curt or Reese head will fit each others shank. The holes on a Reese shank, # RP3344, are spaced the same as those on a Curt shank; 1-1/4 inches on center.

  • Reese Weight Distribution Shank # RP3344 Recommendation for a 2001 Dodge 2500 Quad Cab
  • Since you need about 11 inches of drop the Reese Weight Dist Shank # RP3344 that you referenced would be a good choice for you as it has 11 inches of drop. I attached a review video on how to measure for the right amount of drop with a weight distribution system. I also attached an FAQ article on weight distribution systems for you to check out.

  • Weight Distribution Shank with 7-1/2 Inches of Drop for a 2008 Chevy Tahoe
  • If you are measuring on level ground to the top of the receiver opening on the vehicle and to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer then the difference is 7-1/2 inches and that is the amount of drop you will need to tow the trailer level. Shank # RP3344 will provide this amount of drop if you are using a weight distribution system. I have included a link to an FAQ on measuring for the correct rise or drop. For a regular ball mount the closest we have to 7-1/2 inches is # 45291. Or, to go w
