If your TT has an A-frame type tongue, you can certainly use the # 83660 Reese Friction Sway Control. I'm not entirely sure what you mean when you said your hitch was straight. I'll assume that you're speaking of a straight ball mount with no rise/drop, kind of like # 4280, is that correct?
If that's the case, you can use the # RP26003 adapter which installs between the trailer ball and the ball mount.
All the rest of the necessary hardware is included with the friction sway unit.
I've linked you to a video showing the bracket being installed.
