Picking out the correct Fastway weight distribution shank comes down to picking the one that will provide the correct amount of drop you'll need. The part # FA92-02-4214 that you referenced can provide up to 5-1/2 inches of drop.

If you are unsure the amount of rise/drop you need you'll want to measure from your trailer's coupler lip down to the ground when the trailer is sitting level and then you'll need to measure from the top of your hitch opening to the ground and the difference between these two dimensions is the rise/drop you need.
