Weight distribution shanks from Reese and Curt Manufacturing both use the same 1-1/4 inch hole spacing. Ideally, you'd want the manufacturer of the W/D system and the shank to match, but if Reese doesn't offer the specific rise/drop you need, you can use a Curt shank.
I've linked you some articles about weight distribution that you might find helpful.
