Recommended Hitch Balls for the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System
Question:
Im looking to buy this Reese RP66561 to use with two different trailers . I cant figure out what hitch ball to buy - I need one for a trailer up to 14000 GW with 2-5/16inch and another could be 10000 GW with 2. Thanks! Also for the clearance of the head unit since it is different with the Technical Bulletin TB17-01, here are my measurements: TRAILER FRAME RAIL SIZE FRAME DEPTH COUPLER OFFSET Utility 6 5 4 Tiny House 5 4 4

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution 66561 requires a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" diameter shank. Therefore, for a 2" trailer coupler you will want to use part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16" trailer coupler you will want to use part # 19286.
The measurements you provided are both inline with the Technical Bulletin: TB17-01 as you can see in the attached photo.
