Weight Distribution Shank Needed to Compensate for Lifted Truck
Question:
Can you use the D900 to compensate for a lifted truck, and replace the ball mount and use a equalizer hitch?

Expert Reply:
For use with a weight distribution system, I recommend the Curt Weight Distribution Shank # 17120. The drop needed to compensate with your truck will be different for each truck. I have attached an article on how to determine what size drop or rise is needed for you vehicle.
The Curt shank # 17120 would provide you with a drop of 5-3/4 inches, and a rise of 9-1/4 inches. This shank is rated for use with weight distribution systems up to 15,000 pounds. I have attached a review video of this hitch for you.
