This weekend I am going to switch from a 12" shank to a 18" shank so I can open my tailgate while I am hooked up.
How much difference will this make on the settings or stress on the WD hitch and receiver.
Just looking for opinion's how it has worked from someone that has done it before.
Thank you and have a great weekend!
The short answer is simple. The longer the shank from normal, the less weight your hitch can handle.
