Recommended Ball Mount W/ 5" of Rise for a Volvo XC90  

Updated 08/14/2024 | Published 08/11/2024

Question:

I have a question about the best trailer hitch for my situation. I have a Volvo XC90 [rated 5000/500 lb towing] that I use to tow my Wolf Pup travel trailer [3090 dry]. I experience some sway while towing. Volvo does not allow a weight distribution hitch, and the car has auto sway control built in. Do you have product recommendations to help with two things: 1. I need a 5 rise on the hitch. What would be the best situation for shock absorption? Would the Curt rockerball work well on my Curt adjustable hitch? 2. My second issue is that I would like to add a sway bar. Could I add the Reese Sway Control Bracket, along with the Curt rockerball, to my Curt adjustable hitch? Or is there another all-in-one solution that might work better? Thank you for your help!

Rebekah, so unfortunately the Curt RockerBall # C40047 won't physically fit on your Curt Rebellion XD # C83WR so the two can't be used together.

What you could do instead is, use the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45336 instead which will work with the Rockerball and has that 5" of rise you're looking for and then get the Replacement Sway Control Tab for Weight Distribution System # 3442 welded on so you can use a weight distribution system.
