Thanks for the pictures of both your coupler height and hitch height. Based on that you'd need a shank that would provide 14-15 inches of drop. The shank we offer that would get you closest to that would be the Curt part # C17125 which can do a drop of up to 15-3/4 inches for a trunnion setup or 16-1/4 inches for a round bar setup.
