Is There a Way to Use Friction Sway Control with a Ball Mount that Fits a 2-1/2 inch Hitch

Published 01/15/2024

Question:

Hi, Im looking for a 2.5 hitch for a 2018 RAM 2500 without weight distribution with a 2 5/16 ball and the small ball on the side not sure of the size to use with friction sway control like the Reese. Im looking to tow an 11,300 lbs. max trailer with a 1350 lbs tongue weight. Does such a product exist? Thanks,

Since vehicles that have 2-1/2 inch hitches don't normally use friction sway control as it's not normally needed there aren't any brackets for the smaller balls of the units that are setup for that hitch size but I do have a solution Mehdi. What you would want is the weld on bracket part # 3442 which you would need to have welded to the side of your ball mount and you'd be able to use a friction sway control.
