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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

First time ordering from this site, very 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:

Hitch looks heavy duty and was a good price and fast 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 was good enough.
Your service

by:

Excellent product. Smooth towing and very beefy. My Diesel 2500 needed the lower ball and this works perfectly.

I love Etrailer! I live in KC so UPS ground 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!
