Weight Distribution Shank with a 10 Inch or Greater Rise

Question:

Hi I have an equalizer hitch made by Reese. It has an 8 inch rise. It is 28 inches from the ground. I need one that is 30 inches or above from the ground Would the Reese 3215 be the part number? If not, can you help me find the correct one.

If your current weight distributing shank has an 8 inch rise and is currently 28 inches from the ground, then the # RP3215 would give you a 10-1/4 inch rise if you're using a round bar system or a 11-1/2 inch rise if you're using a trunnion system. Whether you're using a round bar or a trunnion system, either way you'd have at least the extra two inches of rise you're looking for.

I'm curious about what kind of trailer you're pulling that the coupler height needs to be 30 inches above the ground.
