The # 3442 replacement sway control tab would be welded onto the side of a ball mount, and the 1-1/4 inch diameter trailer ball would mount in the 5/8 inch diameter hole in the tab.

If a ball mount with a 3/4 inch rise or a 2 inch drop would work, Curt offers the # D320 with the tab already welded in place.
