Reese Sway Bar System on Jeep Cherokee with Higher 2 Inch Hitch Receiver
Question:
Hi- I have a Reese PRO Series sway bar system on my Jeep Cherokee. The receiver that they supplied does not have enough drop for my trailer to be level. The hitch mount for the PRO looks to be a 2inch unit with 2 bolts 1.5inch apart... Will this work with the MaxxTow Adjustable Height Ball Mount that you have on your site?

So for your Reese weight distribution system, you will need a replacement shank like the Pro Series Weight Distribution Shank - 14" Long - 4-3/4" or 6-1/2" Drop # RP63971. The holes of the Weight Distribution systems are 1-1/4 inches apart, so most hitch heads are 2-1/2 inches from bolt center to bolt center.
If you don't have the weight distribution system and instead have the friction sway bar # 83660, then the MaxxTow MT70067 or # MT70068 will work with bracket # RP26003.
