20' Series New 20:64-1 OB Hayman Reese (which drop shank Landcruiser LC200)

[Derm]

Evening,
Our new Expanda 20:64 OB has arrived and I have two drop shanks, a 50150 used this with a Prado and a 50153 with a Expanda 17:56 OB on the Cruiser. I will have to sell my 275kg 600lb hitch as the new OB has a ball weight of 279kg. I will need to buy an 800lb hitch but not sure which drop shank to buy as the others are either to high or to low. (The new OB are higher than the old OB due to suspension changes) Has anyone else had the same experience and is so can you suggest which one to buy, the other shanks are
Part nm. 50151 30mm Drop
Part nm. 50152 95mm Drop

Cheers,
Derm

Evening @Derm ,
All setups are different dependent on different vehicles and vans. If you aren't confident (or know someone that can check your setup) I would recommend taking your van to a dealer or supplier and get them to set it up for you and supply the proper shank straight off.

what @dagree said ↑

go see a Towbar specialist (with all your goodies) and get them to help you set it up,
they may (very loose may) offer you money back on the bits you dont need, while selling you what you do need

Thanks guys will be taking your advice.

Normally you need the 50152 95mm drop shank for Landcruiser 200 series with the extra height but some need the 160mm drop down shank depending on the lancruiser suspension best thing to do is to go to a main agent and there tell you how to measure.

Thanks Smash,
Yep already have the 50153 (160 drop but it is to low) after doing the measurements will be getting the 50152.

I use the Andersen WDH on my cruiser and that shank has a adjustable height.
