Long shank question...
I would like to be able to drop my truck tailgate while connected to my TT. I have a long shank but was wondering if there is any reason not to use it?

Nope. I installed one that was several inches longer for the same reason on my Reece DC and had no problem.
A few years later my buddy got the same DC setup and the new shank (or drawbar) that came with it was longer just like the aftermarket one I bought.
Where did you find this Ball Mount/Shank that is several inches longer? I have searched the internet and stores from Tractor Supply to the Uhaul place to no avail. I have a class V Reese Titan and Reese does not make them in longer lengths. There are reducers but I want to stay with the 2.5 x 2.5 class V. I only need about three inches longer.
I do find all kinds of those crazy Rube Goldberg over complicated setups for sway control systems but I simply do not need that.
Any help will be appreciated. Otherwise I need to change the location of the tongue Jack.
