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".
Mine is not 2" it is 2 1/2" and in that size I cannot find any at all but if you run across one please do let me know as I will snatch it up.
For obvious reasons I dont want to go to a reducer. (2")
Thanks
A longer 2 1/2" WD shank, h'mm that is a tuffy....
Your right, Reese only make 2 of them. I have both.
The big camper, one in my sig
The large drop/rise shank on the flat deck
The large drop shank on the older smaller camper
I can however open my tailgate and not hit the jack.
There are not a lot of options in 2 1/2". I agree, I do not want to deal with the 2 1/2" to 2" adapter either.
Do you have a unique setup?
Well my set-up is about as simple as it gets since I dont use any of the sway control apparatus as I just dont have any problem with sway. So my trailer sits closer to my truck than yours does. Also the RAM 2500 tailgate has a "lip" on the top of it that makes it a bit higher.
