Expert Reply:
The Reese Steadi-Flex # RP66560 offers good sway control and weight capacities, but is a little limited on the amount of drop. We do not currently have an option to give you more than 4 inches of drop. That being said, we do have a few other options available.
The Blue Ox Weight Distribution Shank # BLU86FR will offer up to 7 inches of drop when used with one of their trunnion bar set ups. This would need to be purchased separately from one of said systems. These do have a little less range with their capacities, so it will depend on your specific tongue weight. The Blue Ox TrackPro System # BLU55FR is rated from 800 pounds to 1,000 pounds, the Blue Ox TrackPro System # BLU35FR is rated from 1,000 pounds to 1,300 pounds, and the Blue Ox SwayPro System # BXW1503 is rated from 1,000 pounds to 1,500 pounds. All 3 of these options are also designed to be used with an underslung style coupler as well.
The SwayPro System # BXW1503 will offer the least amount of sway control out of the three, so if you are experiencing more than a minor amount of sway, it would be better to go with one of the other 2 options
