Hello Michael, selecting a ballmount will depend on the amount of rise or drop you require for your hitch. You will find all of our ballmounts in our ballmount search category here; https://www.hitchweb.com/category/TA-B-1-1/Ball-Mounts For your hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver, select the 1-1/4" ballmounts by receiver size.

Hello Jack, A Weight Distribution system will take trailer ball with an 1-1/4" shank diameter . The size of the trailer ball depends on your coupler. Please click on our Trailer Ball category, and use the filter to select the correct trailer ball.
