Weight Distribution System for a 2014 Jeep Wrangler with 3 Inch Lift
Question:
Hello, I have a 2014 Wrangler with a 3inch lift. The current hitch I use is a 8inch but the jeep sags to much in the rear. I am thinking about going with a WD setup and an 8inch drop. My trailer has a tongue wait of 525 when loaded including water. Is there a Curt setup that I can get that would come with the shank with that much drop or do I have to buy the WD setup and then an extra shank to go along with it? Thank you for your help

There is only one size shank that comes with the Curt weight distribution systems so you would have to get a different shank separately if more drop is needed.
What I recommend though is Fastway system # FA94-00-1033. It doesn't come with a shank so you can order one to go with it that has the right amount of drop such as # C17123.
With this system you will also need a ball, # 19286, for a 2-5/16 inch ball. I have linked a video review of the Fastway system for you.
