Great product heavy duty it’s perfect for my truck got here really fast now My rv will be leveled thanks etrailer for the fast shipping
by: Wendy06/24/2020
First and foremost I was so meaning to email you shortly after we got this receiver/hitch on, but I forgot. Second, you were extremely helpful and knowledgeable with the details about this hitch, before we bought it, so we thank you for that!! And last but not least, we were so happy with it and it worked out perfect and was the perfect length!!! My husband is more than pleased.
by: Chuck2177706/15/2017
Very nice piece. Just what I needed. I needed to drop my ball 3" on my Pro series weight distribution system and sway bar system going from my 2015 2500HD Silverado to my 2016 Ram 2500HD. I have never been disappointed in any thing I have purchased from ETRAILER.
by: lee pharo 04/25/2015
I haven't towed the trailer yet but my old sway bars fit. got the height I needed. I was wondering why you don't leave a receipt in the box? I'll send you a picture when I get to the track.
by: Jared F03/06/2016
Works perfect for my 14' Ram 2500. Truck stock and sits high in rear. This gives me enough drop go get my camper tongue down to 19" which is level for my Camper
by: Tim K. 09/22/2015
Great product. Made with solid steel. Delivery was fast and was just the right amount of drop for my 2008 Ford F-350 with an 8" lift and 37" tires.
by: Steven 03/14/2023
Very heavy well made! Perfect for leveling out my camper hooked to my 2500 ram Laramie

We regularly use etrailer for all our hitch/rv needs. The website is easy to use and is stocked with everything we have needed. We have been full time on the road for the last 18 months. We frequently off road with our 33 ft TT. This means we sometimes require replacement parts quickly. eTrailer has always had the part we needed and shipped quickly. If you have questions about the right sizing for your hitch/parts call customer service, they have been very helpful to us as well.

I needed a drop down shank for my 2019 Ford Ranger, which must also be compatible with my [hardware store]--Haul Master load leveling trailer hitch. etrailer spent quite a while helping me select the correct one. It arrived within a couple of days of placing the order. I installed it and it worked perfectly.

used it only once for a long haul. worked fine. have since sold it for about 12 of what I paid. overall a good hyitch, but quite pricy.
by: Howard 01/25/2022
Last year I traded my Silverado for a Yukon to tow my 21’ camper. The hitch tube was integrated into the Yukon bumper and those 20” wheels raised the tube height 7”. I purchased your 13” drop shank to level my hitch/camper connection but experienced trailer “sway” because of that long shank. I fabricated a set of “sway bars” to tame that movement. Now I can tow my camper safely. Thank you for making this long drop shank available for taller tow vehicles!
by: Paul10/05/2018
Have used with my 5500 gwr travel trailer. Works good but extremely heavy once the weight distributing head is attached. This unit is affordably priced but I would have paid more to get the same adjustability in HS Al alloy. Had to get all new hitches because the hitch height on my new tow vehicle is way way higher than the old one. Even though I measured carefully, I still was off by one adjustment hole after initial coupling of trailer due mostly to how much the rear did not settle on the tow. So good reason to buy an adjustable hitch unless you are completely familiar with your tow vehicle characteristics when trailer weight sits on the hitch, unless you do not care if your trailer sits level during towing.

The back of our travel trailer was too low to the ground hauling it with our Tahoe. The hitch we ordered corrected the issue and works great!

We are very satisfied with the quality of the hitch. It is exactly what we needed to haul our travel trailer with our Tahoe.
by: Mark D.12/07/2016
Excellent products, great prices, I always buy my trailering products from etrailer. Shipping is fast and I would recommend them to anyone. I have a lifted truck pulling a trailer, this adjustable drop-down hitch is heavy duty and exactly what I needed.
by: Darrell 03/02/2023
Always excellent service. Delivery has always been earlier than promised. Can't beat the price and quality.
by: sjg06/29/2017
I needed a shank that would allow me to lower the weight distribution hitch I use on my Yukon. This shank was perfect. It allowed me to adjust the hitch until my horse trailer was level while attached to my Yukon.
by: Michael04/23/2022
As always, great products and super service. Keep up the good work folks, I want to be able to order from etrailer, for many years to come!
by: Richard C08/25/2020
Just what I needed to drop the ball height on my new Ram 2500. The Reese weight distribution head bolted right up and the Airstream is sitting as level as can be. Very satisfied. Thanks, etrailer for great service and on time delivery.
by: pigybak05/30/2015
i switched from a 2014 Ram 1500 to a 2014 Ram 2500. the height difference did not work for my distribution set up on my travel trailer.
i needed about 6 inches of drop. this shank provided exactly what i needed and it worked well with the Blue Ox set up i had.
by: Strong drop shank05/06/2014
Needed to replace the shank on my Reese dual cam hitch because my new truck was much higher. The Curt drop shank worker great. Since know one states the dimensions the drop length is 13.5 inches.
by: Doug 06/10/2016
The unit I rec'd with my weight distribution set did not give me enough drop. I spoke with etrailer and they recommended this and it was to much drop. This almost drags the ground behind my truck. I have since purchased another unit. When speaking with etrailer they calculated the drop differently then the weight distribution instuctions thus making it hard to get correct parts.
by: Jack11/02/2016
Shipped ahead of time and product was just as advertised. I will post pictures of my camper with leveling and anti sway hitch soon. Customer service was great--seems like a family owned business that actually believes in what it makes and wants all customers to be informed and satisfied.
by: Gregory09/26/2018
Received product as described in a very timely fashion and look forward to putting it to use very soon! I ordered this to adapt my husky weight distribution hitch to fit onto my truck after I jacked it up.
by: Kyle06/01/2019
The product was exactly as described looks well made and was what I needed. The best part was ordering from etrailer the first one that shipped was lost by UPS. But you guys didn't hesitate and sent me another one 3 day and I recieved it. I know the shipping isn't cheap on a heavy product like that but you didn't charge extra you have gained a new customer for all my trailer needs and would highly recommend you to anyone thanks.
by: Jwithers12/03/2019
good fit--quality piece. be sure you need the extra length though because my ram 2500 with 2in lift and 35s is still a bit too low to the ground to keep the shank from dragging in certain situations.

- Recommended Weight Distribution System Drop Shank for Ford F-250For a deeper drop to keep your system level, there are drop shanks available. I recommend the Curt Weight Distribution Shank # C17124 which will allow you the ability to adjust your system to work with your taller truck. I've attached a video to assist as well as a photo of dimensions.
view full answer...
- Will Curt Shank Work with Fastway e2 Weight Distribution SystemYes, you can use the Curt shank # C17124 with a Fastway e2 weight distribution system. The shank has 3/4 inch bolt holes to mount the head and they are spaced 1-1/4 inches apart on center. This is the same as what the e2 system requires.
view full answer... - Recommended Drop Shank for Weight Distribution Systems and Travel Trailer CompatibilityFor your trailer to tow level using your weight distribution system, I recommend the Curt Weight Distribution Shank 13" Long # C17124. This will provide up to a 10" drop when using round bar weight distribution systems or up to 9" drop with trunnion bars. This is the deepest drop shank we currently carry from any of our manufacturers and it will work with your system as the shanks are interchangeable on nearly all systems.

- Could Curt Weight Distribution Shank Fit EAZ Weight Distribution System HeadThe Curt Shank part # C17124 that you referenced has 3/4 inch holes that are spaced 1-1/4 inches apart. If the head of your Eaz system is compatible with that this shank would work well for you. Nearly all WD system use the same hole dimensions. We have found that almost all brands can use each others shanks.
view full answer... - What is Needed to Use a Weight Distribution System on a Lifted TruckYou can use a weight distribution system with your truck, and we do have drop shanks that would allow you to tow your trailer level as well but first let's talk about picking out the correctly rated system. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Shank For 7 Inches of Drop For Curt Trunnion Style Weight Distribution 17300We do have exactly what you need in order to get the drop you need for your Curt Weight Distribution System 17300. The shank that came with the 17300 gave a maximum drop of 1/2 inch, and there is a shank that adds 7 inches of added drop that will work: - Curt Weight Distribution Shank # C17124 This will give you a maximum of 9" of drop with your Curt trunnion bar system, so it can handle the additional 7 inches you are looking for.
view full answer... - Drop Shank Recommendation for Weight Distribution SystemAny time the trailer you plan to tow weighs more than 50 percent of the tow vehicle's tow capacity you want to use a weight distribution system. Since you already have a kit rated for your trailer you may as well use it. You might need a longer drop shank to allow a lower drop like the # C17124 to allow the head of the system to sit lower. This shank will fit most brands of weight distribution systems. If you let me know how much drop you'd need I can see which would be ideal.
view full answer... - Replacement Weight Distribution Shank to Provide Additional Drop So Trailer will be LevelWe recommend using a weight distribution hitch whenever the trailer weight is more than 50 percent of the tow vehicle's weight of if you're experiencing sway or sagging issues. If you need a weight distribution shank, like the Curt # C17124, I've linked our selection for 2 inch hitch receivers for you.

- How to Choose Weight Distribution ShankIt sounds like you're wanting a shank to lower your weight distribution head a bit, is that right? If so, you'll first need to see how much drop you'll need. If you click the provided link, you can see an FAQ article that explains how to determine the rise/drop of ball mount you'll need. The same principle holds true for choosing a weight distributing shank. Knowing the brand and model of weight distribution system would be helpful as well. I'll link you to our selection of weight distributing...
view full answer... - Will a Curt Weight Distribution Shank Fit a Husky Weight Distribution SystemHusky has 2 different types of weight distribution shanks. One of them uses 3/4 inch diameter holes spaced 1-1/4 inches apart on center. If that is what you have then the Curt shank # C17124 will work. But if the shank you have has a smaller hole diameter to mount the head then it will not work.
view full answer... - Shank Recommendation for Weight Distribution System Used on Lifted TruckFor a weight distribution shank that works well on lifted trucks we have the Curt shank part # C17124 which has quite a bit of drop built into it. I attached a picture with it's dimensions. The Curt WD shanks are compatible with all standard weight distribution shanks too.

- Shank Recommendation to Allow Pro Series Weight Distritbution Tow Trailer Level with Taller TruckWhat you need is a weight distribution shank that has more drop than what you have so that the head of your system is lower and your trailer can be towed level. We have the Curt weight distribution shank part # C17124 which will work with your Pro Series weight distribution system and give you the additional drop you need. I attached a picture that shows how much drop it can do.

- Ball Mount Recommendation for Husky Weight Distribution System to Allow More DropHusky weight distribution system uses the same shanks as the other brands so what you can do is use a drop shank like the Curt # C17124 which can do a drop of up to 9 inches. If you can get back to me with how much drop you have if the # C17124 isn't ideal I can see what would be best option.
view full answer... - Will a Curt Weight Distribution Shank Work With an Equal-I-Zer Weight Distribution SystemThe Curt WD Shank # C17124 will work with an Equa-I-Zer Weight Distribution hitch. The equalizer hitch will mount to a shank that has holes that are 1-1/4 inch apart and 3/4 inch bolts and the Curt shank will allow these dimensions.

- Replacement Weight Distribution System Shank with 6 Inches of DropIt sounds like you need a shank with at least 6 inches of drop to go with your weight distribution system. The Curt # C17124 will give you up to 10 inches if you system uses round spring bars or 9 inches if the bars are trunnion bars. Either will be plenty for what you're looking for. Adjustable ball mounts like the one you mentioned will not work with a weight distribution system.
view full answer... - How to Pick Out Correct Rise/Drop Ball Mount When Towing TrailerI attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will measure the coupler height from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is on level ground. Next, you will need to compute the difference. If the hitch height is...
view full answer... - Compatibility of Curt WD Shank C17124 With Reese and Draw-Tite WD Head AssembliesCurt weight distribution (WD) shank # C17124 is indeed compatible with a Reese head assembly and it will also work with Draw-Tite brand heads. (Reese and Draw-Tite are sister brands.) Most WD shanks made nowadays use the same 1-1/4-inch hole spacing as found on the Curt shank so compatibility across brands is quite good. A much older WD system may not be compatible. Please note this shank is intended to be used in the drop position only. With a round bar system is will provide 10-inches...
view full answer... - Solution for Trailer Towed with Weight Distribution that Sits Too High in the FrontOlder trailers sit lower than current ones as the trucks and vehicles are being made taller and taller. What you need is a weight distribution shank with a larger amount of drop to allow you the ability to tow the trailer level. A shank like the part # C17124 would work well.
view full answer... - Drop Weight Distribution Shank Recommendation for 7-1/4 inch Drop that is 13 inches LongBased on the dimensions you listed it sounds like you need a new weight distribution shank that can do a drop of 7-1/4 inches and is 13 inches from front to end of shank. For that we have the Curt shank part # C17124. I also attached a link to a help article that covers how to pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Weight Distribution Shank For EAZ-Lift R3 WDHYes, you can use the Curt Weight Distribution Shank # C17124 will work with your EAZ-Lift R3 Weight Distribution Hitch.

This shank is made for 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers, has a maximum weight capacity of 15,000-lbs, and a maximum tongue weight of 1,500-lbs.
view full answer... - Is Curt Shank Compatible with a Husky 800 to 1200 Pound Round Bar Weight Distribution SystemThe Husky weight distribution systems use 2 different shank types depending on capacity. The lighter duty ones use a shank that has smaller diameter holes than most other shanks. The higher capacity ones like yours should use a shank with 3/4 inch diameter holes which is what the Curt shank # C17124. The holes should also be spaced 1-1/4 inches apart like on the Curt shank. If the hole diameter and spacing matches what the Husky weight distribution head requires then you can use the Curt...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Drop Shank Recommendation to Allow Trailer To be Towed LevelWhat you need is a weight distribution shank that allows more drop than what you currently have. A high low adapter is not the solution you need as it will not be designed for use with a trailer or weight distribution hitch. Instead a shank like the part # C17124 would be what you need to allow the nose of your trailer to sit lower which will allow the trailer to tow level.
