Curt Extension Weight Distribution Shank to Clear Tailgate on a TruTrack System
Question:
I need to extend the distance from the truck receiver to my Curt C17500 WDH for purposes of being able to lower my tailgate on my F150. Is the Curt C17122 the interchangeable shank for my system that should add 6inch of additional clearance?

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Curt Weight Distribution Shank - 14" Long - 7" or 7-1/2" Drop - 1,500 lbs TW item # C17122 is compatible with the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control item # C17500. That will give you exactly 6 more inches of clearance so you should have no problem clearing your tailgate if that's the distance you need.
