When I bought my pod used it had holes drilled for the friction ball mounting plate from the previous owner, but in the wrong place. At least according to the directions for my Reese friction sway bar. I didn't want to add even more holes, so I took it by a welding shop to have the plate welded on (and they filled the old holes.) Cost me about $35. Well worth it. Just be sue to remove your propane tank and battery.

Yes, I was talking about the tongue ball not the hitch end. I bought a tv ball hitch that has the anti-sway ball mounting plate incorporated into it. I just don't like to drill that many holes in the tongue frame but I guess it won't weaken it or Curt wouldn't have designed it that way. Thanks for the comments.

Oh .. I get it now... The A-Frame bracket that holds the other ball. Got confused by the "tongue", got it. Bolts directly to the frame, no worries, 4 holes and the mounting bolts hold fine.. Even though I still have one installed on my frame, I haven't used it since early last year when I bought my Andersen WD hitch.
