Hitch adapter

[Bubba2016]

Hi all: Just brought home 2020 Ram 2500 today. I had a 1500 Ram that I used to tow my camper. I measured from 1500 to 2500 it sits about 4 to 5 inches higher. My question is what kind of adapter do I need to drop down receiver to hook up equalizer hitch? Equalizer hitch is already in it's lowest holes. Thanks

With your 2500 you'll want to get a 2.5" drop receiver bar, sounds like your is an Equalizer Hitch, they make one.

Yes you can use a a sleeve on a 2" bar but since you have to buy a longer drop bar might as well buy the correct size one.

Avoid adapter if you can. Another point of slop. I'll only use it for <3k

Can't you just flip yours and lower the holes. I did it on mine I have the equalizer hitch also.

Been researching and I think I need a Curt weight distribution shank. It has up to 8" drop and it fits all curt weight distribution hitches It is a 17123. What do you think?

If your WDH is made by Curt,, then it's best to buy a drop shank made by them.
With a 2.5" receiver on a 2500, better to get the: https://www.curtmfg.com/part/17132

This is equalizers drop shank. I'm using it on my husky centerline hitch. Works great I'm at 1 hole up from the bottom on my 2500 with a trailer coupler height of 22 inches.

You may need one of these available from etrailer or Camping World. Consider the 7 inch one.: https://www.bing.com/search?q=Weight+Distribution+Shank,+7"+#91486&form=ANNTH1&refig=b87b8e47037043e5a4c8bc501b2afd07&sp=-1&pq=weight+distribution+shank,+7"+#91486&sc=0-36&qs=n&sk=&cvid=b87b8e47037043e5a4c8bc501b2afd07

This is the one I am going to get for my WDH. Got to find the cashola for it. That and the new shank for my Weigh-Safe too....

Amazon has the drop shank for much cheaper:

+1 My 1500 is about 2" higher than my F-150 was. I flipped my equalizer hitch to face down and relocated the ball in different holes. Only took about 20 minutes.
