Hitch concerns
I have a 2015 3500 Ram cummins and i tow about 9000 lb trailer. I bought a 17k lb rated shank and a 30k lb rated ball but is it too short? will i have problem on tight turns?

Looks like you’re already towing with it?
Why not see how tight you can jack knife the trailer and decide for yourself.
None of us can see how tight you can back up from the internet.
Just as important, looks like you have a 2” square hitch and the adapter sleeve.
That is not a good combo for longevity. At some point you will wallow out the hitch pin holes and bend the hitch pin. Adapter sleeves are a short term, occasional use solution for those that have a bigger receiver and don’t have the right size hitch.
