Is There Enough Thread Engagement if Convert a Ball and Mount is Used with Sway-Control Bracket
Question:
Will there be enough thread engagement if the Convert a Ball and mount from EBMK4 is used with Reese Sway-Control Bracket RP26003? Thank you

Expert Reply:
The Reese Sway-Control Bracket, # RP26003, is 3/8 of an inch thick so you will need a hitch ball that has a shank long enough to fit through the ball mount and the sway-control bracket and still have enough threads left to install the nut properly.
The etrailer.com Drop Ball Mount Kit # EBMK4 has a shank that is 2-1/4 inches long. Since at least one thread needs to be visible beneath the lock washer and nut once the ball is screwed into place, part # EBMK4 should work well for your application.
I have included a video review of etrailer Ball Mounts # EBMK4 for you to take a look at.
