All of our friction sway control units like the Ultra Fab # UF35-946204, the Curt # 17200, and the Reese # 83660 require the same distance between the center of the coupler ball where the frame bracket mounts of 24 inches. I wish I could recommend going with 25 inches instead but it would most likely bend around a sharp corner. You can install this on either side of your trailer though so you might try checking the other side for clearance there.
