This shank offers both rise and drop positions. It measures 8" from the hitch pin hole to the bolt holes. 7 Bolt holes let you adjust the height of your weight distribution system. Powder coated steel resists corrosion.This solved my problem. The Reese hitch bar that came with my load distribution hitch did not have the holes I needed to have my travel trailer line up with my ball mount. I used C17100 in the up position and I needed the holes near the bend to have my truck ball one inch higher than my trailer coupler. With the hitch bar that came with the 6000 lb Reese , in the up position and the lowest setting my ball was 4 inches higher than coupler. In the down position my ball was lower than my coupler.
I have the Pro Series Weight Distribution System w Friction Sway Control - Round - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW product PS49903. I pull a 5000# haulmark race trailer 24' with my 2012 ram 1500. I got the weight distribution system and it was great, but according to the instructions, I could not get my hitch ball to 21" at the lowest. So the ride has been ok but I id prefer the ball to be at 21", currently at 22" so I ordered this shank. It has the lowest holes that I could find, however only appears to drop the ball about 1/2". Probably not worth it for 1/2", but I care a lot about my cargo so I thought I would give it a shot. Mind you I have not installed it yet, just put it up next to my current shank and it looks like it would drop the ball1/2"
The product appears to be exactly what I needed. It arrived yesterday and I will switch out from my old hitch shank tomorrow. My old part was used on a taller truck that I traded off and just made the hitch ball too low. This product is definitely heavy duty. Thank you etrailer.com.
Product was exactly as advertised and delivered very quickly. I needed something that would allow adjustments on my hitch and this fits perfectly.
I needed a different rise Shank for my new RV than the one I had and the Curt 8" fell perfectly into the range I needed. The shank is solid steel and heavy and the holes look to be precision machined. Welds look hand done as there is a little sloppiness with some of them but nothing structurally detracting. You can use this shank in the up or down position so the description that only gives a small amount of drop or rise is a bit misleading. Just know that the max dimension will work for the up or down position. Powder coating looks good but I do't expect it to last as most of the paint on these things get scratched up in use.
Got exactly what I ordered! Fast shipping and the website is easy to navigate. With my new truck the old shank even with a shim was sloppy fitting. This one is made for my 2019 and sits nice.
I have not received the shank yet, it is at the border. When I pick up my shank and equalizer hitch and have it set up I will gladly review both products.
Perfect height adjustability for my stock, not lifted 2017 Tundra. And if I do a conservative 4" lift on 33" tires...The hitch Will still work
Just what the 'doctor' ordered ... Fits well, gives me the adjust-ability to allow use on several different vehicles ... Good quality materials ...
