Will the Reese Titan WD Shank # RP54976 Work with Reese Weight Distribution # RP66074
Question:
I have a 2011 Ford Super Duty and it came equipped with a 2 1/2 inch receiver. I am planning on purchasing the Reese dual-cam set up in the future. My question is...Will the Reese hitch head from kit #RP66074 fit on the Reese 2 1/2 inch shank #RP54977? I would like to use this combination so that I dont have to use an adapter when towing my travel trailer. Thank you in advance for your help.

Expert Reply:
The Reese Titan Weight Distribution Shank, part # RP54977, will fit the Reese hitch head in the Reese weight distribution kit, part # RP66074. You will want to make sure that the 5-3/4 inch drop or 8-1/4 inch rise on the Reese Titan # RP54976 shank will work properly for the setup on your 2011 Ford Super Duty.
To make an approximate determination of the rise or drop that is needed for your weight distribution shank, first jack up your trailer so that it is level and measure from the bottom of the coupler to the ground. Add an inch or two to this measurement to account for sag when the trailer is hitched. Next, measure from the top of the hitch receiver on the vehicle to the ground. The difference between these two measurements will be the rise or drop needed on the weight distribution shank for your vehicle.
I am including a link to a FAQ page on weight distribution and a FAQ page on measuring for rise and drop.
