I bought a used TT and it had a mount on it for a sway bar already. My Eaz Lift bar says 24inches from center of the ball back. This mount has the ball at 25 inches. Will this be ok? I dont really want to drill anymore holes then I have too. Thoughts?

its should be 24" but it should be okay as long as you dont turn 90 degrees which is nearly impossible going forward but is possible in reverse. but the sway bar should be removed when your backing up.

You will have no problem....

X2 on removing before backing.. Its not worth damaging your sway bar or your hitch to save the 30 seconds it takes to remove the the sway bar.

and it is not worth the extra 4-6 holes that you will have to drill just to move it one inch..

No worries,

Enjoy your new travel trailer..

I forget the measurement but I welded mine on. No worries about holes.

When the comment "remove before backing" it's about backing into a campsite (or the like) where you will make sharp angles.
