Question:
Received my order for a Blue Ox BXW0756 When ing the shank into the receiver the brace strikes the bumper at at least 1inch before getting to the point that the pin can be ed into the receiver. I need a shank where there is at least 5 inches between the center of the pin hole and the top outermost point of the brace, this distance is currently only 4 inches. However the length of the shank from the mount pin hole to the mounting shank cant diminish by no more than 1 inch. The 15 inch length of the rise and 13 rise/7 is good. of I am attaching pictures of a sketch defining what is needed as well as pictures of the shank in relation to the bumper on my Buick Estate Wagon. I am not able to load but one picture for some reason, please email me for additional if needed

I attached a picture of what I believe is your best option for a weight distribution shank that has at least 5 inches between the pin hole and the support gusset. The part number for this shank is # EQ90-02-4500.
