It sounds like you're wanting a shank to lower your weight distribution head a bit, is that right?
If so, you'll first need to see how much drop you'll need. If you click the provided link, you can see an FAQ article that explains how to determine the rise/drop of ball mount you'll need. The same principle holds true for choosing a weight distributing shank. Knowing the brand and model of weight distribution system would be helpful as well.
