How to Add a Ball Mount to the Curt Adjustable Weight Distribution Shank
Question:
I have a Curt weight distribution hitch for my travel trailer. I had to purchase a longer shank and they gave me the shorter shank. Do you make a ball mount I can use for the shorter shank? I am wanting to put a 2 ball on it since I already have the shank. Thank you.

We do have something that will work for your application!
It looks like you have the Curt Adjustable Weight Distribution Shank # C17100 so to use a ball mount you'll need the Replacement 2" Receiver # C45802 and I recommend using the matching Replacement Tri-Ball # C45800 to wrap up your ball mount system.
The two pieces I mentioned above are replacement parts for the Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount # D900 which takes a few pins and clips to all stay together so I recommend picking up 4 of the etrailer Hitch Pin and Clip # e65TR if you don't already have any.
