Question:
I have a husky weight distribution kit for my truck. I had gmc dually that had a 3 inch shank. Sold the truck and now I have a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 HD. The camper is a 38 ft weighing a max of 11lbs fully loaded mostly running around 8-8500. I need a new shank for my truck, but... my new truck is lifted 6 inches with 35inch tires. What would you guys recommend? I like the blue ox shank but is it compatible with my set up? Thanks in advance

Expert Reply:
You are going to need quite a bit of drop since your truck is lifted so high. The one with the most drop that we offer that would work well is the Curt # C17125. This shank has 20-7/8 inches from the top of the shank down to the very bottom like what you see in the picture I attached.
For a drop shank with not quite as much drop we have the # C17124 which has 13-1/2 inches instead.
Both of these will work with a Husky weight distribution system.
