We do not, we only carry the # RA20BALL for the rackem tow dolly. Realistically this is the only size you would need. If you were in a situation where you needed the coupler to be latched on to the ball of the dolly you would be in bigger trouble than you think. The tow dolly would get lifted into the air easily and not good things would be happening.

Having the smallest ball size for the dolly is the best because it allows it to fit on any trailer coupler ball size.
