What is Smallest Diameter Hitch Ball Available
Question:
Hi, Im making a very small trailer for a custom project I have. I would like to use this 1 1/4 ball but I cant find a suitable coupler for it. Is this something you carry, or even exists? Thanks!

The Curt Sway Control Hitch ball part # C40093 that you referenced is designed to attach to the side of a standard hitch ball as part of a friction sway control kit like the # 17200. Normally a mount like the part # RP26003 is attached to the ball mount platform so that it can sit next to it. See attached picture.
The smallest standard size hitch ball out there is the 1-7/8 inch like the part # 19256.
