Hey Michael, with just the information you provided I can't give you an exact answer but I would be willing to bet you'd need a shank with a bit more drop like the Curt # 17120. If you could get me the height from the top of your trailer hitch opening to the ground and the height of your trailer coupler's bottom lip to the ground when the trailer is level I could tell you exactly what drop you'd need.
