The Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66084 would be compatible with the trailer frame brackets of the Reese Dual Cam II Weight Distribution System w/Active Sway Control # RP75FR. These brackets aren't sold separately currently but if you call into First Brands (Reese's parent company) you should be able to order some without having to purchase the entire hitch.
