Hey Terry, I see what you are saying and yes the Curt shank part # C17100 would work for you since it has a hole that is above the shank (when in drop position) which means that going between the rise and drop position won't be a drastic adjustment like what you have now.

Hey Terry, how did things turn out with the Curt adjustable shank on your setup? Did it help you get the trailer level where you wanted it? Your update could make it easier for the next person working through the same hitch adjustment.
