Do you mean it needs to extend 14" out from the receiver or you need 14" of drop?
I had to purchase an extended drop shank for my WD system when I bought my '14 Ram 2500. I got mine through Etrailer which was an Equalizer 10", 6" drop 2 1/2" shank. I first tried a sleeve adapter but found it was extremely sloppy, that's why I got a dedicated 2 1/2" shank.
However, as was suggested, several people have either made sleeves or bought sleeves and welded them to their WD shank with very good results. If you have a shank that is the right length & drop welding on a sleeve may be your best solution.
