Will The Reese Pro Series WD Shank Work With A Reese WDS?
Question:
I have a Reese weight distribution part 54947 with a adaptor that only has 5 holes going down. I bought a new vehicle and need about 2 inches more . Will the Reese 63971 achieve this and is the spacing of the holes the same as with part 54947, which seems to be obsolete now.
