Drop Shank Recommendation for Allowing Trailer with Weight Distribution System to Set Lower
Question:
Can I use this with my weight distribution hitch for pulling my travel trailer. I need it to lower my hitch just a little lower to level out the camper when towed. Trailer is under 10000 gvw.

Sounds like you need a drop shank for your weight distribution system. We can help with that but the high low adapters like the part # RM-048-4 are not to be used with weight distribution systems.
The part # C17123 works with most weight distribution systems that have shank holes that are 3/4 inched in diameter and has a maximum drop of 8-1/4 inches.
