No, it won't work right. At least not for very long. The Reese Weight Distribution System item # RP66542 needs both bolts correctly installed to support the weight of your trailer. What you need is a shank with a longer drop.
You can use the Equal-i-zer Wt Distribution Shank item # EQ90-02-4400, which will give you an extra 5" of drop compared to the one that comes with item # RP66542.
