Weight Distribution and Shank for my Lifted 2012 Gmc Sierra 1500 With 600 lb. Tongue Weight Trailer

Question:

Good evening, I have a 2012 GMC Sierra 4x4 1/2ton 1500. I have Rough Country GMC 3.5in suspension kit SKU 27731 on my truck. I want to purchase the Husky Center TS 32217. Would the shank have enough to haul my travel trailer. FYI my trailer tongue weight is 495lb dry weight 4,200lb and gross weight 7,000lbs. Oh and the measurement from ground to top hitch receiver on my truck is 20inches. Thanks

The Husky Center Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control part # HT32217 is a good fit for your truck and trailer combo. As for a shank the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches part # BXW4003. Will allow you to set up the head as a 4.5" drop this is pretty typical for standard height trucks since you have 3.5" lift the Husky Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches part # HT30859 will allow you to get up to 7.5" of drop.
