Not every truck and trailer application will have the same rise/drop needed since vehicles are made at a wide variety of heights as well as trailers. So we offer shanks like the # 17120 which can offer more drop as needed depending on the situation. This one specifically can offer up to 5-3/4 inches of drop.

If you are unsure how much rise/drop you'd need check out the help article I attached that covers how to measure this.
