Question:
I have a lifted 2017 Jeep Wrangler that I am using a weight distribution system with but I need a shank that has more drop so that I can tow my trailer level. My WD system is a Curt.

Expert Reply:
For lifted vehicles we have the drop weight distribution shank part # C17125 or part # C17132 to allow the trailer to be towed level. The part # C17125 can do a drop of up to 15-3/4 inches and the # C17132 can do a drop up to 8 inches.
What's great about these shanks is that not only do they fit the Curt weight distribution systems like what you have but they also fit other brands as well since they are all made to the same dimensions.
