Awesome hitch. Adjustability is superb. Bought the clevis pin hitch attachment for it and all is good to go. Also, the ability to use other types of hitches is nice, if I ever need it.
by:
I bought this because I wanted a shorter replacement for my recurve R6 (I had a long one on my F-150 so I could drop my tailgate and tow a quad, I ended up damaging the tailgate and purchased an atv trailer).It takes some of the shock out and was worth the extra ~$, but it won't work miracles, it's probably worth spending more on the "Shocker" air hitch if you tow frequently and want to eliminate all heroines
by:
The Convert-a-ball hitch allows me to level my boat trailer easier, and it quietens the drive to the boat ramp by reducing hitch noise caused by uneven pavement.
by:
This product is great but I have replaced it with a more appropriate hitch. I needed a three inch wide mounting plate for the McHitch fully articulating system on my Black Series HQ15. The unit I purchased came all the way from Australia.
by:
The cushioning system definitely works well (I'm towing an 8000# trailer with a 2015 Yukon XL Denali). The hollow vertical part has me wondering why so many other adjustable height shanks are solid steel. It's rated for 10,000# so it should be fine.
by:
Heavy duty and it helps with movement in the hitch. Smoother while pulling my trailers with my F150.

The price and service from etrailer was top notch.
by:
When I traded vehicles, my new trailer receiver was 4 inches lower. My weight distribution shank did not have holes high enough to raise the ball. The convert-A-Ball was the perfect solution. etrailer delivered promptly. The product was just as described and fit perfectly. Thank you etrailer.
by:
Seems to work well. Only used for a short trip and it softens the impact when stopping & starting. I plan to hover near the 10000lb limit with a 30ft toy hauler and hope this hitch holds up. Will report back after more use.
by:
First pull went great, didn't have the random "clunk" upon decelerating or accelerating. Little loose in the reciever, but i havn't found a reciever that isn't. Once the WD is on, no issues.
etrailer.com is fantastic
by:
pleased with quick shipping time and product prices are very good. Just put on truck this morning and pulled our camper from it's storage site, so far so good, works well and has plenty of adjustment notches to level camper with truck for smooth pulling.
by:
This weight distribution shank works great. The built in surge protection is an excellent feature that made the after shock of braking minimal.
by:
Staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

The product came right on time and we were able to take the family camping with no issues as I was able to adjust the weight distribution system to the needed level.

I highly advise to buy this product for a level worry free ride :)
by:
I received my new weight distribution shank on time. It is exactly what I wanted for my 2013 Ford F-150 that is taller than my previous 2005 Silverado. I will be putting it to use this weekend, I am looking forward to its cushining characteristics.
by:
Hitch looks heavy duty and was a good price and fast shipping.
by:
Good price on the product. Quick shipping.
by:
Well built. I have another one but smaller and the cushioned shank is a excellent idea ,I wouldn't want anything else.
by:
The product is what I needed. I felt very comfortable and assured with the associates there being knowledgable about the product and how they made sure I got what I needed.
Thank you.
by:
The product was good enough.
Your service has already been great.
Thanks
by:
beefy. My Diesel 2500 needed the lower ball and this works perfectly.
by:
Great quality and I know the cushioned shank works well as I have others……….like the fact it’s U.S. made………support jobs in this country !
by:
is like overnight! So far the new hitch looks good and I will find out Friday if it works as well as it looks! Thanks!
by:
Excellent product delivered on time as usual and of exceptional quality. Thank you very much.

installed it yet, but it seems well made and should do the job excellently.

  • Adjustable Ball Mount Set that Has 1-7/8 inch and 2 inch Ball
    We have a similar way to accomplish what you are looking for from the # C45901 but we don't have replacement platforms for it. So instead you'd want the shank part # AMAC1, two platforms # BA-1 and then the ball sizes you want # 63845 and # C40002.

  • Recommendation for WD/Sway Control for 2007 Fleetwood Saratoga and 2010 Ford Flex
    Tongue weight will depend on how you load it. I would check the Flex owners manual to see what the weight distribution capacity of the vehicle is. Some vehicles cannot use weight distribution systems. I am not sure on the Flex, but to be safe, I would strongly recommend checking the owners manual. Some of the aftermarket hitches we have do allow use of weight distribution system and some do not. The ones that do, do not allow an increase in tow capacity. So I would imagine if your factory...

  • Compatibility of Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch With Weight Distribution Systems
    Unfortunately, there isn't a way to use the # 336VS501 Lock N Roll articulating hitch while using weight distribution. The good news is that we do offer a cushioned weight distribution shank, part # AMAC1. The shank has a 10K towing/2000 tongue weight capacity, and if used with a round bar system, it offers a 3-3/8 inch drop or 6-5/8 inch rise. When used with a trunnion bar system, it offers a 2-5/8 inch drop or a 7-3/8 inch rise. I've linked to a product demonstration video featuring...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for a 4,000 Pound Trailer and a 2003 Honda Pilot
    To be on the safe side, we will assume the maximums; trailer weight of 4,000 pounds and tongue weight of 425 pounds. When selecting a weight distribution system, the most important thing is properly matching tongue weights. That being said, you never want to exceed the gross trailer weight capacity either. We have a few weight distribution systems with sway control, that have a 400-600 pound tongue weight range and they all have more than enough gross trailer weight capacity. Being that...

  • Need a Shorter Weight Distributing Hitch Shank
    We do have a few options for replacement WD shanks that have a distance shorter than 8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the adjustment holes. The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank # AMAC1 fits 2 inch hitch receivers, measures 6-3/4 inches from center of hitch pin hole to the center of the adjustment holes, and has a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) capacity of 10,000 lbs with a Tongue Weight (TW) capacity of 2,000 lbs. The distance between the adjustment...

  • Will Ball Mount Adapter Work With Weight Distribution Shank
    I pulled one of the Ball Mount Adapters, part # BA-1 from our warehouse and took a measurement for you. As the attached photo shows, the center-to-center measurement is 2-1/2 inches. With 3 inch spacing on your shank this will unfortunately not work for you. We do offer a shank that might work for you and will work with the ball mount adapter. I recommend the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank, part # AMAC-1. This Shank fits 2 inch receiver openings and the holes are spaced...

  • Weight Capacity of the Convert-A-Ball Adapter Part Number BA-1
    I contacted our representative at Convert-A-Ball and the weight capacity of the ball mount adapter # BA-1 is 10,000 pounds and tongue weight capacity is 2,000 pounds. It bolts right onto your weigh distribution shank such as the Convert-A-Ball # AMAC1. The adapter # BA-1 can fit other weight distribution shanks with 3/4 inch shank diameter holes and holes 1-1/4 inches apart on center. I added a short video review for you too.

  • Hole Spacing For An Adjustable Ball Mount 2 Inches on Center
    I see the confusion with the hole spacing and think I can clear it up. The holes are 3/4 inch and they are 2-1/2 inches apart on center. They are not 1-1/4 inches apart however, that is the adjustment increment based on the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank for 2 inch Hitches,# AMAC1, this part is paired with. The actual metal spanning between the holes is 1-3/4 inches. The only similarly styled adjustable ball mount I could find that has a 2 inch on center adjustment...

  • Can I Use the Curt Rebellion XD Shock Absorbing Adjustable Ball Mount with Weight Distribution Hitch
    I may have a solution for you, but the Curt Rebellion XD # C45949-2 is not compatible with weight distribution hitches. If you've got a weight distribution system where the head mounts to the shank using 3/4 inch bolts that are 1-1/4 inches apart on center, you could use the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches - 10,000 lbs # AMAC1. This shank has a 10,000-lbs capacity, so you'll want to make sure that your trailer is less than that, but if your current shank...

    On the Reese weight distribution shank # RP54998 the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the head mounting holes is 9-1/4-inches. This is shown on the linked photo. This shank will work with your Reese trunnion head assembly. The grooves in the shank are provided to allow mounting of certain accessories. We do offer 2-inch weight distribution shanks with tongue weight (TW) ratings higher than 1600-lbs. For example, Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank # AMAC1...

  • Can Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank be Used Without a Weight Distribution System
    Yes, you can use the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank # AMAC1 without a weight distribution system and it will keep its 10,000 pound weight rating. The Ball Mount Adapter # BA-1 is designed to work with it just for that purpose and is also rated for 10,000 pounds GTW.

    I went out to our warehouse to measure the Ball Mount Adapter for Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank # BA-1 for you. The platform measured 11/16th inches which is the 3/4 inch platform they are referring to. I recommend the # BA-1 for your Weigh Safe 2" and 2-5/16" Hitch Ball w/Built-In Scale # WSUN-1. These two parts will work very well together. That platform is designed to work with the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches # AMAC1, but...

  • Weight Distribution / Sway Control System That Will Fit A V-Nose Trailer
    Yes, the Strait-Line Weight Distribution Hitch System can be adapted to a V-Nose style trailer. You would need to use an alternate mounting system for the chain hanger brackets. The Bolt on Chain Hanger Kit, item # RP58305, will bolt onto the side of trailer frame. Once installed the chains are attached by raising the trailer tongue and rear of vehicle with the trailer jack. Tubular frames cannot be wider than 2-1/4 inches with this hanger kit, so you will need to be sure and measure before...

    The best sway control is provided by dual cam high performance sway control.

This weight distribution and sway control system works to keep sway from starting rather than just stopping it once it begins, like other systems do.

    From the weights you have listed it looks like you may at times have as much as 700 pounds of tongue weight with the weight loaded behind the rear axle in the truck. I recommend the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System, 800 lbs. TW / 10,000 lbs. GTW, item # RP66073, as long as your tongue weight will not exceed 800 lbs at any time. Another option, if you need sway control, would be the Reese Strait-Line Hitch 800 lbs TW / 12,000 lbs GTW, item # RP66073. The Strait-Line sway control...

  • Can Convert-A-Ball Dual-Cushioned Adjustable Ball Mount Be Used with Weight Distribution System
    I do have a great solution for you, however the Convert-A-Ball Dual-Cushioned Adjustable Ball Mount # CAB-UM that you referenced cannot be used with a weight distribution system, in large part because of its adjustment hole spacing. Just about any weight distribution shank features adjustment holes that are spaced 1-1/4 inches apart, on center. The shank for the Convert-A-Ball features adjustment holes are are spaced apart by 1-1/2 inches. This simply means that the holes will not line...

I've linked to a video review of this shank for you to look at. As this shank is for 2" receivers and has holes measuring 1-1/4" apart, the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount Adapter, part # BA-1, that you mentioned will work just fine.

  • Is Rise/Drop Figure for Weight Distribution Shank Standard Between all WD System Brand Heads
    The issue is that while the heads of standard weight distribution systems can attach to the cushioned shank part # AMAC1 the relative location for where the ball is mounted isn't always the same between manufacturers. This unfortunately means that the rise/drop figures that the shanks list won't always be an exact figure. We have the Curt shank part # C17123 which has 10 adjustment holes compared to the 7 of the Convert-A-Ball so it would give you additional drop if that's what you are...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for Towing a 24 Foot Travel Trailer with a 2005 Isuzu Ascender
    You are correct, the 24 foot Coachman travel trailer you are considering will require weight distribution for use with your vehicle, and for safety sway control is a good idea. The dual cam sway control you have referenced is the best sway control available, and keeps sway from starting rather than reacting to it like some other systems. You will need to check your trailer weight fully loaded and ready to tow, to be sure you are within the capacity of the hitch and vehicle. Your vehicle...
