Expert Reply:

If you are referring to needing more rise or drop from the shank part of your Curt weight distribution system to allow your hitched trailer to remain level as it needs to in order to handle well, then you can refer to the linked page that displays all WD shanks that fit a 2-inch hitch receiver. I also linked the same parts for a 2-1/2-inch receiver size in case that is what is on your truck.

These shanks range in the amount of rise or drop they offer. For instance, 2-1/2-inch Curt shank part # C17132 will give up to 9-1/4-inches of drop with the trunnion bars from system # C17500. The 2-inch shank part # C17124 provides up to 9-inches of drop, and part # C17125 provides up to 15-3/4-inches of drop with a trunnion bar system like yours.
