The Reese Weight Distribution Shank, part # RP63971, will give you a 6-1/2 inch drop if you are using it with a round bar weight distribution system. It will only give a 4-3/4 inch drop when used on a trunnion bar weight distribution system.

If you need a shank with more of a drop for a trunnion bar weight distribution system, I would have the Reese Weight Distribution Shank, part # RP3344. This shank has a drop of 7-5/8 inches when used on a trunnion bar system.

I am sending a link to a video that will show you how to measure for a weight distribution shank.
