Hey Cal!

The largest shank size for the "slip-on" style of sway control brackets we have is the Reese Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003 for a 1" shank.

Since you need something larger you'll need to have the Sway Control Tab # 3442 welded on to your current ball mount to add that sway control feature.

Technically you could try to enlarge the hole on the Reese bracket but then you run the risk of ruining the integrity of the sway control bracket so that isn't necessarily recommended.
