Length of shank/ball mount
Looking for some info I've not been able to find elsewhere. Purchased a new Reese WD ball mount/shank assembly. When installed in my receiver, the ball is nearly 11 inches past my bumper. Aside from making it a good shin buster,what purpose does this serve? There is no way I could turn short enough to hit trailer if I shortened it. In my mind the closer to the pickup axle, the better. Would I be making a mistake to cut it off, and drill a new hole for pull pin? Any ideas? Thanks, Kirk
