The weight distribution shank we offer with the most amount of drop is the Equalizer Weight-Dist Shank part # EQ44FR which offers up to 12" of drop. I have attached a full list of options below if you feel this is too much. That said, measuring would be the only way to know for sure how much drop is needed since there are several variables for each application. In order to measure, take the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the trailer hitch and then subtract the distance from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer while level.
