Solution to Get Additional Drop from Pro Series Weight Distribution System
Question:
Good morning, I purchased my parents 17 trailer and it came with a pro series weight distribution system but when i hook it up to my 2016 Ram 2500, i lowers the rear of the trailer considerably. Im wondering can i turn the trunnion upside down, remount the balls for the hitch and friction arm to give me the additional i need. My real concern is that the holes for the distribution arms will be upside down and im worried about binding. thoughts? thanks

I have a solution for you but you can't rotate the trunnion bars so that they change the height of your setup. For a shank that has more drop we have the # C17124 which can do a drop of up to 9 inches.
