The frame brackets on the Reese round bar # RE94FR need to be located between 24-1/2" and 27-1/2" from the hitch ball. If you do not have room for the brackets we do have the Blue Ox Trackpro # BLU67FR. The frame brackets on the Blue Ox need to be mounted between 20" and 25" from the hitch ball. So you do have options and flexibility if the tongue of your trailer has limited space.

Both of these systems come with adjustable shanks. So if your trailer is at an angle, you can adjust the height of the ball accordingly and get your trailer as close to level as possible. As long as you are within 3" of level, you will be towing safely.
