In reference to BandW BWTS20040B, what is the measurement in inches from the top of the shank to the bottom of the vertical part? My truck is a 2015 Chevrolet 2500HD with a leveling kit and 33.5” tires. Thank you.

Hey, Vince!
I went to take a look at the B&W Tow & Stow part # BWTS20040B for ya and from the very top to the very bottom it's a little over 11". You will also want to make sure that you have a minimum of 11" from the bottom of the adjustable part of the shank to the ground. That way you know you have enough ground clearance.

Hey Vince, how did the B&W Tow & Stow work out with your 2500HD and the leveling kit? Did the 11-inch measurement give you enough ground clearance when towing? Your feedback could help others trying to match a similar setup.
