Reese Weight Distribution Shank Recommendations for a 2010 GMC Yukon XL

Question:

I have a reese WD hitch and i bought a 2010 yukon xl and it is quite a bit higher than my previous 04 trailblazer ext. the yukon hitch receiver is 24 1/2inch high my camper is 18inch high at the ball reciever. Will this shank part# FA92-02-4315 be compatible with my reese adj. ball. and work for my set up?

Since you have a Reese weight distribution system I would recommend you stick with a Reese shank as a replacement since the Fastway e2 Shank # FA92-02-4315 has not been tested with Reese weight distribution systems.

Since you need about 6-1/2 inches of drop you could get the Reese Weight Distribution Shank # RP3215 if you have a round bar setup. This shank provides 6-3/4 inches of drop when used in a round bar setup. If you have a trunnion setup you could get a Reese Weight Dist Shank # RP3344. This can have a drop of 12-7/8 inches and should be plenty for you in either setup.
