Recommended Weight Distribution Shank for Lifted Truck
Question:
I’m trying to find which hitch would work best for my truck. I have a dodge ram 1500 With a 6 inch lift and 35 inch tires. I measured 26 1/4 inches to the top of the receiver and 11 1/2 inches to the bottom of the couupler. I’ll be using it to pull my camper with a weight distribution system. Thanks for your help.

It sounds like you're needing a weight distribution shank. You're needing something with a 14-3/4 inch drop. I can get that with the 16-1/4 inch drop when used with a round bar weight distribution system that's provided by the Curt # C17125 weight distribution shank. If you have a trunnion bar system, this will have a drop of 15-3/4 inches. The adjustment hole spacing in the shanks is standard, so this should work fine as long as your weight distribution head is compatible with 1-1/4 inch on center spacing.
