Question:
SWAY BARS: Regarding the hitch mounted ball for the sway bar, is the frame that the ball is mounted to an welded integral part of the trailer hitch or is this frame mounted under the main 2 ball?

Hey Larry! The Reese Friction Sway Control Kit item # 83660 attaches to ball mounts like item # D320. There's no welding. We have a couple of other options like the Sway Control 2-Ball Platform for BulletProof Hitches Ball Mount item # 358SWAYCONTROLBALL. However, these are all specific to the manufacturer of the ball mount. If you want me to look and see if we have any options for your ball mount I would just need you to comment below with a part number.
