The Draw Tite hitch you mentioned # 24843 requires the use of the ball mount part # 3594. With Class I hitches you have to use recommended/required ball mount so you can't use the # BM96 that you mentioned.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
