Ball Mount Recommendation with 4 inches of Drop and Platform Thickness of 3/4 inch
Question:
I purchased this ball about a month ago. Just got around to installing it. The instructions said it needs to be tightened to 100lb torque to be accurate. Ive seen your QandA section that says that I would need a specialized crescent torque wrench to do this? Ive tried to find a crescent torque wrench with a 1 1/2 inch diameter, but they dont seem to exist. Where can they be found? Or is there a workaround to be able to tighten the ball to 100 lb torque? Or is there somewhere I can take the ball to where it can be tightene? Like an autoshop, etc.? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for your quick reply. Just to confirm, I would be able to use/attach/weld a sway control tab to this mount? Also I would be able to use a Weigh Safe Universal Tow Ball WSUN1 with it?
