I wouldn't recommend using the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-305 with a weight distribution system. Since you'd be adding basically a hitch adapter to the setup you'd be cutting the capacity of the hitch in half.
Gen-Y does have a cushioned weight distribution shank with the part # GY54FR which can do a rise or drop of 6-1/2 inch and fits a 2 inch hitch.
