Expert Reply:
On some but not all of the weight distribution systems, there are two tabs for the sway control system. Sounds like you may already have a ball mount setup for installing a sway control like the part # 83660. Also sounds like you may be interested in adding a second sway bar.
Typically, to add a second sway-control bracket to their WD hitch, the Draw-Tite Sway Control Tab, part # 3442 is welded on to the head of the system, giving an additional mount for the sway control ball as you asked about. If you happen to be just using a standard ball mount on your trailer this tab would work for that as well.
You can then add the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit, part # 83660 which has the ball included and can be used in the # 3442 tab.
