Question:
Witch Reese Weight Dist Shank Do I Need If From Ground To Top Of Receiver Is 19 And Ground To Top Of Trailer Coupler Is 17 1/2 For Reese Trunnion Bar System For A 2003 Ford f-250sd Thank You
asked by: Martin B
Expert Reply:
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.
