Replacement Drop Shank for Weight Distribution and 2-1/2 Inch Receiver
Question:
I have upgraded my truck from an F150 to a Ram 3500 and need some additional to level my trailer on my weight distribution hitch. I currently have the Reese Weight Dist Shank - 12-1/4 Long - 2 to 6-1/2 Rise - 1,500 lbs TW Item # RP54970. Would the BXW4028 be a suitable upgrade shank to fit my 2.5receiver? If not could you make a suggestion. I want to just move the ball mount from the Reese to the BXW4028. Need some additional drop
