Equal-i-zer - shank and ball height questions
I have a new to me 2016 ORV Timber Ridge 280RKS. It has a GVWR of 9600#, My truck is a 2003 Ford F-350 single rear wheel, 4X2. It has a payload capacity of 3860#. I followed the set up procedure...

Thanks for the info and link.
I just researched and called etrailer. There is a 2" receiver hitch foir my truck that is 2" and is rated as follows:
Max Gross Trailer weight: 17000#
Max tongue weight with weight dist.: 2550#
This is some serious weight/rating from a 2" receiver....impressive.

They also have a shank with a 12.5" rise (I need at least 10") and it is rated at 1500# of tongue weight.

Perhaps I should purchase the shank first and use with my current receiver hitch. As mentioned, if I load more stuff and reach my GVWR of trailer (9600#) and my tongue weight increases, I can always change to the aforementioned receiver hitch.
Thoughts?
