Replacement Shank For ReCurve R3 For 2-1/2" Hitch

Question

Question:

I currently own a ReCurve R3 800lb weight distribution hitch. I purchased a new tow vehicle that sits higher. Can you recommend a 5 inch hitch that will work with the R3 hitch head/ball mount assembly? Preferably for a 2.5 hitch. Thank you.

Hey Dave! The ReCurve R3 uses a standard WDH shank so I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 10" Rise/6" Drop # EQ90-02-4900. This has a 6" drop and is designed to fit a 2-1/2" receiver.

What kind of trailer are you towing?
