To compensate for the lift on your 2021 Ford F-250 you are going to need to use the Curt Welded Weight Distribution Shank 7" - 10 Hole Adjustment item # C17123. This shank is compatible with the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control item # C17500. It will allow you to level you weight distribution system with your Jayco Travel Trailer. I have linked a review video below.
