The typical shank that comes with the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37120ET has a 7" rise and 3" drop measuring 12" overall. For a shank that fits your 2-1/2" receiver to go with the # EQ37121ET I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 10" Rise/6" Drop # EQ90-02-4900

This shank will give you an additional 3" of drop so you have more to work with when compared to the standard 2" shank that comes with the Equal-i-zer system. This combined with the # EQ37121ET will give you a system that is compatible with the 2-1/2" receiver on your 2020 Ram 2500 Big Horn. In addition to the shank you may also need the # ALL643216 for hitch ball installation.

I have attached some review videos for your reference.
