Question:
Have a Calico Horse Trailer with 2inch hitch. Most every sway hitch seems to only fit 2 5/16inch hitch ball. Is there an anti-sway hitch you can recommend that fits this 2inch requirement? Hauling with 2019 F250.

Hey Eli, it is really odd that the weight distribution systems that include hitch balls basically have 2 inch balls when you'd think the higher rated 2-5/16 inch hitch ball would be a lot more common. So you'd need to go with a system that doesn't have a ball like the part # FA92-00-1000 which happens to be rated for up to 1,000 lb tongue weight.
For a hitch ball then you'd want the part # 19286.
Do you know what your loaded trailer tongue weight is?

Hey Eli, did you find that the Fastway e2 system without a ball worked for your Calico Horse Trailer? I'm curious because it could really help others with similar setups.
