Some couplers have no lip, some have one that's a little rolled, and others have a flat lip, which is where the AMPLock Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip 2-5/16" Ball Couplers # AMP74FR comes into play.

I'm attaching a photo one of our customers submitted that does a great job depicting the style of coupler this fits, but if you're still unsure please feel free to send in a photo and I'll be more than happy to make a recommendation for you!
