Thanks for the picture! That's a large drop you are needing. I recommend the Curt Weight Distribution Shank - 12" Long - 15-3/4" or 16-1/4" Drop - 1,500 lbs TW item # C17125. The Curt shank is compatible with your Reese weight distribution system. I have attached a diagram detailing the dimensions of this shank so you can confirm you need one with this big of a drop.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
