Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out. I do have a solution for you, but the etrailer High-Low Fixed Adapter # e85ZV is intended only for flat towing and cannot be used for towing a trailer with a weight distribution system.
The best way to get the additional 2" of rise/drop you are needing is with a different shank for your WD system. We have a ton of different shank options with different amounts of rise or drop, so getting a bigger shank is the way to go here. I'll just need more specifics on which WD hitch and shank you are using currently.
For example, the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4214 provides up to 10-1/4" of rise and 5-1/2" of drop. This will work with most major WD hitch brands. I've included a picture with dimensions of this shank if you want to compare this to what you have now.
Which WD hitch do you have, and how tall is the current shank? How many adjustment holes does it have?

Hey Jesse, It has six holes, but two of them are level with the hitch stub that goes into the receiver. That Fastway E2 looks like it will fit just right. Mark
