The hitch shank that you currently have, 63970, has been replaced by Reese Hitch Shank # RP54970. This hitch shank will provide 2 inches of drop using round bars and 1-/14 inch drop using trunnion bar on your weight distribution system.

The Curt Hitch Shank, # 17120, will increase the drop on round bars to 6-1/8 inches. If you use the trunnion bars, then the drop will increase to 5-3/4 inches. This shank will give you the 3 inch additional drop you are looking for on your towing rig.
