All Curt 2-inch weight distribution shanks are displays on the linked page. These offer varying amounts of drop and rise depending on the type of system you have, round bar or trunnion bar.

Curt shank # 17120 will give 6-1/8-inches of drop with round bars but only 5-3/4-inches of drop if your system uses trunnion bars. Overall height is 10-3/4-inches. 12-inch tall shank # C17121 offers 7-1/2-inches of drop with round bars and 7-inches with trunnions, as does the 10-inch tall shank # C17122.
