Question:
Is there similar product to BPH75RR with less drop? I do not need the 3 bottom holes.

There sure is K.C.. For a shorter weight distribution shank that fits a 2-1/2" hitch, I recommend the Equal-i-zer item # EQ90-02-4700. This shank measures 12" long x 9-1/2" tall. It provides up to a 3" drop and has a 16,000 lbs towing capacity.
The Equal-i-zer item # EQ90-02-4700 is going to be 3" shorter than the BulletProof item # BPH75RR. The adjustment holes on the Equal-i-zer item # EQ90-02-4700 are 8" from the hitch pin hole on the shank.
If you're needing some extra length to extend your weight distribution system out farther from your truck, we also have the Equal-i-zer item # FA78FR. It's got the same height, capacity, and drop specs but the hitch pin hole is 12" from the adjustment holes.
What kind of weight distribution hitch do you have and what trailer are you pulling?

I had the same issue and need when I bought my new Silverado 2500. Had to replace the shank as it had a 2.5 receiver instead of the 2 inch, the shorter drop was a perfect choice. Kept my airstream level and no worry about road scrapes with longer drop.
