Hi, Im making a very small trailer for a custom project I have. I would like to use this 1 1/4 ball but I cant find a suitable coupler for it. Is this something you carry, or even exists? Thanks!

The Curt Sway Control Hitch ball part # C40093 that you referenced is designed to attach to the side of a standard hitch ball as part of a friction sway control kit like the # 17200. Normally a mount like the part # RP26003 is attached to the ball mount platform so that it can sit next to it. See attached picture.

The smallest standard size hitch ball out there is the 1-7/8 inch like the part # 19256.

Hey Roger, for the Lippert 4,000 lb trailer axle we have found that the bearings used are the same as the 3,500 lb axles so you would just need the part #BK2-100 for a kit that includes the bearings and the seal.
