None of the Reese weight distribution shanks have a drop of 17 inches. The longest drop comes from # RP3344 and it has a max drop of 8-5/8 inches when used with a round bar system, 7-58 inches drop when used with a trunnion bar system. I have included a link to all of the Reese weight distribution shanks we carry.
