Shank Replacement for Husky Centerline Weight Distribution to Convert to 2-1/2 inch Hitch

Question

Question:

I currently have the 2inch husky centerline t/s wdh that I used on my tahoe. I recently purchased a 2018 ram 2500 that has a 2-1/2inch receiver. Is there a shank that will accept the ball peice so I dont have to purchase a whole new wdh? It needs to have quite a due to the height of the tow vehicle
