Expert Reply:

The shank in the Weight Distribution 350 Mini for Light Duty Trailer with A-frame Jacks, item # RP66024, is adjustable and has a max rise of 7-3/4 inches and, in the lowest position, the shank has a rise of 1 inch. If you have a tongue height of 15 inches, when the trailer is level, and a hitch receiver height of 17 inches, when the vehicle is level, then you will need to adjust the weight distribution head down about 2 inches. The original shank does not provide the drop needed so you would need the Tall Adjustable Weight Distribution Shank for 350 Mini Weight Distribution, item # RP54985, which has a max drop of 6 inches and will accommodate the drop that you will need.
