Expert Reply:
You are definitely going to need a longer shank to compensate for your lift. I recommend the Curt Weight Distribution Shank item # 17120. This will give you a few more inches of drop so you can keep your truck and trailer level.
I attached a picture that has dimensions of the shank for you to check out as well.
