Adapter bracket mounts to your Class III or Class IV ball mount to provide an attachment point for a friction-style sway-control system (sold separately).by: Jon 09/06/2023
I welded it to the curt ball mount after aligning it with the ball mount. Very strong!
by: James04/24/2023
This is the third one of these I have purchased since July of last year. I am having a problem with the bracket bending when making normal turns. After researching the product I decided that the sway control bar may have been too tight so I am going to give it one more try. If this does not cure the issue I will not recommend this product. Service from etrailer has been good.

Bought a weight distribution hitch
by: Ted B08/26/2017
I bought this damper mount because it was all set and I didn't have to do anything except bolt it on to my hitch bar. It was very simple just follow the direction provided. Remove the ball then position the damper mount and reinstall the ball. The quality of the part was excellent and everything worked as expected.

Still works great! And it’s awesome because after about six months we changed the height so we just took the damper mount off the old draw bar and put it on the new draw bar, perfect.
by: Sherrill04/09/2024
The sway control bracket was easy to install on the hitch and worked well with the Reece sway control kit for towing our 22FB Airstream to the Ozarks and to Minnesota. A great product.

Have a 26 foot Jayco camper I pull with a Ford F250. This bracket attaches the sway control from the camper to the truck and minimmizes sway

Necessary purchase if you want to install the Reese Anti-sway bar. Both work together to reduce dangerous sway of trailers.
by: Joe01/14/2022
There is to much gap between the bracket and ball area.nearly a 1/4 inch on each side.

I had a tech at the manufacturer review your photos and he said he sees nothing wrong with the set up. If you have torqued the ball down, then there should be no concern.
by: James 04/23/2024
The price was right..... the shipping was fast....... the product is AWESOME! I have used etrailer
for well made items that are hard for me to find in my town.

The process of ordering and shipping was great great folks to work with I would suggest them any day.. great job !

It does what it is intended for.
by: Richard06/25/2022
We added this to our hitch to enable us to use the anti-sway. It does move a bit so I added a simple stainless steel hose clamp clamp to fill the gap. (you cannot see it in the photo)
by: Anthony08/27/2020
A bit of space between the hitch mount and the bracket and i'm not sure how that will play out. I'm hoping it will be fine as I don't want to have to go out and get another mount.

After ayear of camping the hitch worked well.
by: Chuck F.08/09/2012
Excellent Product and quick shipping, the friction sway control and sway control bracket work perfectly, much more enjoyable pulling my pop up camper on the highway!! Thanks!
by: Ralph K.09/24/2014
Having been a metal fabricator for many years, I was very disappointed that the space left between the downtabs that go over the ball mount was so great. It would have been so easy to make a snug fit. The way it is, there's a quarter-inch gap that may allow this attachment to work the ball loose. I haven't towed with it yet and it may be fine as it is, although, I believe I may have to add a weld on the inside of the gap to make a closer tolerance. All ball mounts are the same width...why not fabricate this part to fit tight over the ball mount? If it was too tight, it would have been much easier to file a little off than it will be to add more metal. I expected a better fit, but then again, I am used to precision fabrication.

Not all ball mounts are the same width, but most are. When torqued down probably, the balls will exert enough clamping force that the ball will not back all the way off or loosen enough to fail. The most the platform could possibly rotate the assembly is around a 14 inch like the gap you have noticed. Not enough to release enough tension on the split washer on a ball to get it to back all the way off. This is not a precision piece because it does not have to be.
by: Rick L.07/17/2016
I purchased this product along with a sway control bar to mount on my RZR trailer that I pull behind my 26 ft bumper pull travel trailer. We get a lot of wind in Idaho and the light weight trailer would start to fishtail uncontrollably in high winds.
Most of the other brackets for sway control devices either needed to be welded on my hitch or I would have to buy a totally new hitch with the bracket already attached.
This bracket installed easily and etrailer shipped fast so the problem was eliminated quickly. It worked so well that I purchased a second one for my travel trailer as well.
Thanks etrailer and keep up the good work!!!
by: James08/02/2023
It does what it's supposed to. However I made a sharp turn and the bracket bent. Replaced it with the same bracket and it has worked fine.
by: John 05/06/2024
Product just as expected.
by: Brian06/09/2021
It is exactly like the one I caused to fail. I had improperly adjusted the tension. This bent and cracked the original unit. The device performed well in eliminating my trailer towing instability. Just don't set it too tight.

Excellent product and company to do business with.
by: Ken B07/03/2014
Heavy duty quality. Looked for a long time before finding this. Sure beats big bulky hitch combinations and I don't need load equalization. Look easier than welding plate that comes with sway kit. etrailer was great about keeping me posted on order status. Although, initially back-ordered, it arrived a couple of days before promised date

Plate has neat clean look. Just purchased new Reese sway control to replace old brand X that didnt take a fall from the tongue too well. Never have had a problem. Good quality for the price

Hitch ball shank not long enough for mount and swaybar bracket.

- Sway Control For 2022 VW Atlas That Cant Use Weight DistributionWhile there isn't a way to completely mimic how a weight distribution hitch works, you can use a friction sway control system for a safer way to tow with your 2022 VW Atlas, and you'll also need a bracket that goes over your ball mount: - Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 - Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003 Then to help with any suspension sag, what you can do is add air springs to the coils, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175.
view full answer... - Sway Control Only For a 16 Scamp Travel Trailer Pulled By a 2017 Honda PilotAs you are not wanting a weight distribution this is going to limit you to either a Friction Sway Kit # 83660 with Sway Control Bracket # RP26003. Or you will need an Electronic Sway Control # 335TSC-1000. The friction sway will require you to take on and off the sway bar. I only recommend having it installed when driving on the highway as maneuvering can actually damage the bar or one of the ball mounts. The electronic use the trailers brakes to control sway by activating either the left...
view full answer... - Is The Reese Sway-Control Bracket Compatible With The Curt Ball Mount # C45030Hi David, The Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45030 is approximately 2-1/2" wide. The Reese Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003 can fit ball mounts that are smaller than 2-5/8" wide so these two components would be compatible with each other.
view full answer... - Reese Sway-Control Bracket Compatibility With The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount AdapterHey David, Yes, the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003 would be a compatible match with the Ball Mount Adapter for Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank # BA-1. If you need the hitch ball as well for the sway-control bracket then you can use part # RP58060 for the ball and part # 37201001 for the pin. This bracket is 3/8" thick so you'll want to check if the shank of the hitch ball is long enough to accommodate the increased thickness.
view full answer... - Availability Of a Ball Mount With Friction Sway Control Tab Rated For 10,000LBSYou do have a couple options but the Curt Ball Mount w/ Sway Control Tab # D320 is not available in a 10K weight capacity. You can use the similar Curt Ball Mount # C45310 rated for 10,000lbs and weld on a Sway Control Tab # C45822. We do also have the Bolt On Bracket # RP26003 but his has a 1" hole versus the 1-1/4" hole on the ball mount. So you will either need to drill the hole larger or use a 2-5/16" Ball # C40007 and Reducer Bushing # F-2. Then you will be able to mount the Friction...
view full answer... - Hitch Ball Hole To Sway Control Ball Hole Distance For The Curt Sway Control Ball Mount # D320Hi David, The sway control ball hole of the Curt Ball Mount w/ Sway Control Tab for 2" Hitches # D320 sits approximately 3/8" back from the hitch ball hole (from center to center). The instructions for the Reese # RP26003 do not apply to the Curt # D320 so you wouldn't need to follow those rules with this ball mount.
view full answer... - Can RP26003 Sway Control Plate Be Used on Left Side of Ball MountI do have an option that will allow you to use a sway control bar on the left side of a ball mount, however, the Reese Sway Control adapter plate # RP26003 is designed to be used on the right side only. To be used on the left side, this plate would have to be turned upside down and the lip on the bottom of the plate would not allow the hitch ball to be completely tightened to the plate and the lip would interfere with the operation of the sway control bar. To use a sway control bar on...
view full answer... - Long Ball Mount and Hitch Extension for 2000 Ford Excursion with Dual Rear-Mount Spare TiresThe extra-long 2-inch ball mount we offer, part # EA40 from Brophy, is 15-3/4-inches long and may give you the clearance you need at your dual rear-mounted spare tires to let you use a friction sway control unit like # 83660 on a bracket # RP26003. If you measure from the center of your hitch pin hole rearward 15-3/4-inches that point will be where the center of the hitch ball hole will be. Do note however that this ball mount is rated for 6000-lbs gross trailer weight and 600-lbs tongue...

- Sway Control Recommendation For an Enclosed V-Nose Trailer.I have a couple of routes that you can go to add sway control to your enclosed trailer. First is the choice I recommend, the Tuson Electronic Sway Control System # 335TSC-1000. This system will connect to your trailer brakes. When it senses sway it will activate the trailers brakes to counteract the trailer sway. Best of all there is no extra parts that you will need to connect on the tongue of your trailer, or sway bars to remove every time you need to backup or drive on tight turning...

- Can Weight Distribution be Used with a Draw-Tite 75148 on a 2007 MuranoThe Draw-Tite # 75148 is designed for standard towing only and cannot be used with weight distribution, unfortunately. With that being said, if you can find a camper with a lighter tongue weight, you would be fine to tow with a standard ball mount. If you do end up going with a lighter camper, you can add on the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003 and Curt Friction Sway Control # 17200 for a sway control option if needed. If you also experience squatting, I do suggest...
view full answer... - Options for Sway Control Tab for Ball Mount for Attaching Hitch BallSounds like you are looking for the mount for the small ball of your friction sway control unit. You have a couple options like the part # D320 which is a ball mount that has the mounting tab attached to the side of the ball mount platform. We have the # 3442 which allows you to weld a tab onto your current ball mount, or we have the # RP26003 which fits between the ball mount platform and the hitch ball.
view full answer... - Distance Needed Between Hitch Ball and Sway Control Ball With Weld-On TabYes, the Weld-On Sway Control Tab # C45822 will be okay with a 5-3/4" spread between the hitch ball and the Sway Control Ball # C36BR. The Reese Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003 has a 5-1/2" distance between the center of the bolt holes. The 5-1/2" is the narrowest measurement you want for most applications.
view full answer... - Shock Absorbing Ball Mount Compatible with Reese RP2600 Sway Control BracketUnfortunately, the Reese # RP26003 wouldn't be compatible with the ball platform of the Gen-Y # 325-GH-12001. However, Curt tells me that the ball platform of the # C45949 Curt Rebellion is about 2-5/8 inches in width, which is the largest width ball platform the # RP26003 is compatible with. The fit will be tight, but it should work.
view full answer... - Ball Mount to Use for 6 inch Drop When Using Curt RockerballThe place to measure on your trailer for picking out correct rise/drop is actually from the bottom of the coupler lip. So since you measured from the top of where the ball fits into the coupler you'd need to subtract about 2 inches from that so you'd have 17 inches. So difference between 23 inches and 17 inches is 6 inches which means you'd need a drop of inches. So since you have a Curt Rockerball that adds 2 inches you'd need a 8 inch drop then. So for that you'd want the part # C45338...

- Recommended Weight Distribution And Sway Control On Wells Cargo Motorcycle TrailerFor your Wells Cargo Motorcycle trailer, you can use either sway control or weight distribution with sway control. If you want only sway control, I recommend the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit - Economy - by Draw-Tite, Reese and Hidden Hitch, # 83660 can be used with the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts - Class III and IV, # RP26003. This system uses a friction to stop sway once it starts. This may be enough for your system depending on the cross winds. Two can be mounted,...
view full answer... - Can the Reese Sway-Control Bracket 26003 Be Used on a Ball Mount in the Rise PositionYou can use the Reese Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003 on a ball mount in the rise position provided that when in the rise position the bracket is not free to swivel. It is not likely that you would run into this problem but you need to just be aware of it.
view full answer... - Can 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Use Weight Distribution HitchYou should not use a weight distribution hitch with your 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz because the hitch that fits it - the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23WR - is not rated for use with weight distribution. What you can use instead - and it is not required but I do recommend it for stability - is friction sway control, which will work so long as your trailer does NOT have hydraulic surge brakes: - Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 You will also need the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for...

Normally I'd say that your 2016 Kia Sedona would be just fine as long as the pop up has brakes, but since your towing capacity without brakes is only 1,000 lbs it would be a good idea to install one. As far as the warranty is concerned you are protected by the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle...

- Will the Reese Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003 Work with 2-5/16 inch Hitch BallsYes, the Reese Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003 that you referenced will fit with a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball. The confusion may be that this is designed to fit 2 inch ball mounts. That means ball mounts designed to fit 2 inch hitches. As long as the diameter of the shank of the ball is 1 inch this will work fine with it. I attached a link to a page that has all of the 1 inch diameter shank 2-5/16 inch hitch balls we carry.
view full answer... - Can you use the Reese Sway-Control Bracket on a Hidden Hitch Adjustable Ball MountYes, you can use the Reese Sway Control Bracket # RP26003 on the MaxxTow Adjustable Ball Mount MT70067. For a sway control unit I would go with a Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 as it is designed to work on the Reese Bracket # RP26003.

You can identify a Class I based on the tongue weight and gross trailer weight capacities. A Class I hitch will top out at 200 pounds tongue weight capacity and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight capacity. There is no sway control option if the tow vehicle has a Class I trailer hitch. The best defense against sway is proper loading of the trailer. Its a little more difficult on a travel trailer but if things are...
view full answer... - Adding a Friction Anti-Sway Bar to an RPod TrailerWhat I recommend for your RPod trailer with the ball already attach to the side of the tongue is kit # 83660. This kit is very cost effective and will provide you with the sway control unit itself, the ball that will go on the vehicle side, and another plate that mounts to the trailer should you ever need to replace the one that is there. You will also need a sway control bracket # RP26003 for a 2 inch hitch receiver/ball mount or # RP26005 for a Class II 1-1/4 inch hitch/ball mount.
view full answer... - Is Sway Control Legally Required For Smaller Vehicles To Tow 3500lb Trailer?Sway control is not something that is legally required for vehicles to tow your trailer, but the specific vehicle manufacturer may recommend sway control when towing a trailer. This is more common on smaller, lighter vehicles that are a bit more prone to experiencing sway. Using an adjustable ball mount like the Patriot Hitches Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" Hitches - 11" Rise/Drop - 7K # PH67SR you were looking at would allow you to use a standard ball mount in the new receiver...

The friction sway control works great! I added safety wire to the friction adjustment handle to keep it from turning looser when on the road.
