Wanting to buy a hayman reese 30mm offset drop shank. Current standard isn't quite long enough for the SZ ford territory towing a 17-56.01. Would be willing to buy or to swap. Has anyone had this issue towing with a new territory?

Hayman Reese sell different length drop shanks @brotys at 50 mm intervals I had to get a longer one when we put a ARB rear bar on because it sit higher than standard.

Here is my new hitch on top of the old one you can see its 100mm lower. I think they only go in 50 mm increments up to 200. Just ring a Hayman Reese dealer.

I had the same issue with our 2006 Territory finally found a 100mm drop hitch on ebay for only $50 which solved the problem and we use wdh as well. just have to keep an eye out for them they do come up on a regular basis.

We bit the bullet and finally got this sorted out through one of the local towbar and trailer places. We didn't just have to drop down to the next size, we had to drop down 2 sizes to the longer shank to get the van level when using the WDH. Just goes to show how the Jayco dealer fit stock standard for each van/car and don't actually judge each case on its merits. Ours is a 17.56-1 van with underslung axels and Jayco just fitted a standard shank with the 600lb WDH which obviously was not right. Happy now with the correct setup although $200 lighter in the wallet for the privilege (for something that should have been done correctly in the first place)
