How Long is the Shank Included with 1,200 Pound Reese Steadi-Flex
Question:
Can I get a measurement from the center of the shank hole to the center of the ball mounting hole. This hitch is of interest to me and an added benefit would be if I can get the tailgate down on my 2018 Ford F150 with this hitch installed and my trailer connected. I have the measurements from the center of the ball coupler to the jack stand so I just need the previous mentioned measurement. Thank you!

Expert Reply:
The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole on the Reese Steadi-Flex # RP66560 is around 13 inches.
The shank included with the system is part # RP54998. If you need a longer shank that has similar rise and drop specs you can use part # RP3214 which is about 3 to 3-1/2 inches longer from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole.
