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?

If you go to Amazon and search for 2" RV hitch shanks you will find some as long as 18".
You made the same wrong assumption I did; He wants a class V, 2.5" X 2.5".
Yes mine is 2.5x2.5 Class V, and my jack is manual and would have to be physically moved to clear the tailgate. Turning it on it's bolt pattern wont solve the problem.
The A Frame on my trailer is shorter than I would like and this is the real problem.
I have searched high and low and still cannot find a longer replacement for my Ball Mount. Reese does not have one on their website and neither does any other mfg that I can find.
I will probably have to mount a jack on the side of the A-Frame aft of the present position.
