It sounds like what you are saying is that when you upgraded to the bigger 2019 Ram 2500 that your receiver was too high on the taller truck and now when you connect to your 2018 Keystone Cougar Trailer the coupler is too low. It sounds like you need a taller shank for your Blue Ox Weight distribution system. I have a couple options for you depending on how low you need to go. The Blue Ox Track Pro Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches item # BLU86FR has an 11 hole adjustment. The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches - 12" Long item # BXW4003 has a 9 hole adjustment. Both shanks fit a 2" receiver and I have included diagrams that I made for both.
If I misunderstood your question and went the opposite direction you needed. The shanks on the Blue Ox weight distribution systems can be turned the other way to raise your weight distribution system to a higher setting.
