Can the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17500 be Purchased Without the Shank
Question:
Is this unit available without the shank? I have already have a 2 inch shank that i needed to modify to accept my 2.5 inch receiver. Rise: 5-5/8 in. : 2-3/8 in. Shank length: 10 in.

You can piece out the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17500 with the following part numbers that include everything but the shank:
Trunnion Spring Bar - # C17536 (need 2 of these)
Spring Bar Lift Tool - # C17512
Frame Brackets - # C17508
Replacement Head - # C17507
Hardware Kit - # C17550
2" Hitch Ball - # 63018 or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40085
This is slightly more cost-effective than purchasing the whole assembly, but also keep in mind that the assembly comes with the shank. Unfortunately Curt doesn't offer their weight distribution systems without the shank.

I ordered the C17500 weight distributing hitch. What size socket will I need for the ball? Will it require a thin wall socket?
