all the ones I have seen only go up to 10K. I was looking for a 6" drop or adjustable rated for 15K and had to get a 6" drop only. I do have a nice adjustable billet hitch but its only 10k.

In order to get 15,000# you need a class 5 hitch which has a 2&1/2" opening instead of the standard 2". I have a weight distribution insert which has a series of holes for different height adjustments. If you need one I can gladly get it for you

I found a bolt together like you described. Thanks!
Would really like a quick (pin) adjustable one. Have several trailers I tow and all are slightly different heights. May end up with the bolt together and a sleeve for the lighter trailers.

I have never seen an adjustable in those capacities.

The more components the more there is to fail and the more weak links.

This would be my only suggestion Lin:

You would have to buy a WD plate to attach to the shank as well, and they bolt together, not pins. However, you do have adjustment.

Poke around the rest of that sight. They have a lot of stuff including a 3" drawbar for a 3" hitch which I have never heard of until now.

I see the pretty aluminum adjustable ones all the time towing 15K+ lbs worth of boat. Scares the hell out of me. I looked for an adjustable 15K as well but didnt have any luck.
