Slick Butt to Gimbal size

What size Aluminum gimbal will provide a smooth transition to an 8" smooth/slick butt? Description says the bottom OD of the slick butt is 1 3/8" and to use a size 4 gimbal with an OD of 1 1/4"
Products are AMTAK.
Is this the best fit?

Anyone else wish the slick/smooth butt would come with 2 trim rings as opposed one?

Pretty sure mine did come with two trim rings. I found it to be a prefect match to the perfection ball gimbals. I really liked them. Something you can use a belt with but won't kill your gut if you can't get one on fast enough. I used a channel lock seat and it was a nice match but can't remember the size.

Usually a size 27 fits the slick butts perfectly.
