Longer Drop Shank For Weight Distribution System To Gain an Additional 2" of Drop

Question:

Can you tell me the distance from the top of the horizon shaft to the center of the bottom hole. Measuring my current hitch, I have 6 1/4 from the top of the horizontal shaft to the bottom hole. I need to about 2” lower due to a new truck purchase.

You are going to want the Shank # 17120 to be able to lower your current weight distribution hitch head the additional 2". The Shank # C85NR you found is closer to 7" from the top of the shank to the center of the bottom hole.
