Hey Chuck, thanks for the photos!
In order to use the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 to your setup you'll need to install the Weld-On Sway Control Tab # C45822. We have some other bolt-on style options, but they only work with smaller hitch heads - the design of your weight distribution requires this weld-on tab.
Be sure to have a professional welder do the installation for you because this will be taking on quite a bit of force.

Hey Chuck, how did the weld-on sway control tab work out with your weight distribution hitch? It’d be great to hear how the setup performed after the welding was done. Your update could make it easier for others using a similar hitch.
