Note: All RockerBall hitch balls will sit 1-1/2" higher than a standard hitch ball due to the shock absorbing base.

The mounting platform on your ball mount must be at least 3/8" thick and the hole size must not be more than 1/16" larger in diameter than the ball's threaded shank.


Towing can be brutal, especially when your setup is outfitted with standard, metal-on-metal components. Steel and aluminum can only absorb so much vibration and chucking, so every time you hit a bump in the road, that shock gets transferred to the rest of your rig, leaving it vulnerable to wear and tear. Another unfortunate side effect is an uncomfortable ride for you and your passengers.


Protect your truck and trailer from road shock, vibrations, and rattling - and stay comfortable while you drive - with the shock-absorbing Curt RockerBall hitch ball.


Shock Absorbing ShockDrop Technology

Curt RockerBall with SockDrop Technology

The RockerBall hitch ball features Curt's innovative ShockDrop technology, which is engineered to suppress vibrations and rattling while you're towing. When you hit a bump, the ball compresses around the flexible, polyurethane core. This durable material absorbs excess shock at the coupling point so that it doesn't transfer from the truck to your trailer or vice versa. The result is increased control and comfort as you tow, as well as less wear and tear on your towing setup.


Premium Construction

Curt RockerBall Construction

This hitch ball is built to last with its forged steel construction and durable powder coat finish. The flexible, shock-absorbing polyurethane core withstands extreme heat for long-lasting performance, and the chrome-plated ball resists corrosion.


Curt RockerBall Zerk Fitting

The built-in zerk allows you to lubricate the isolator core when necessary, ensuring quiet and trouble-free operation.

This hitch ball works great no slamming back & forth when stopping are starting. Just the right height for my F150 with a 4 inch curt drop receiver. I would definitely purchased again. Ran it with an unloaded trailer & a trailer with weight around 2500 lb. You want be disappointed in the purchase.

Stops bumping in truck as you stop v

It looks like a quality product, but after buying 3 different drop hitches for my truck it doesn't look like I will ever find one that it will fit on............. so I just bought a stainless ball and went on. Makes for a nice $[XX] paperweight or conversation piece.
by:
Great company to work with. Their employees are very knowledgeable and nice to work with.
by:
I purchased this to test out. I’m using it on a Ford Ranger and towing a 6x16 enclosed trailer. Curt makes great products I’m sure it won’t disappoint.
by:
Works great, it's a noticeably smoother ride than other hitch balls I've used.
by:
It does seem to make a smoother ride. I tow a 20 foot cargo trailer which gets quite heavy at times.
by:
Greatest difference is felt with a full trailer vs empty. For reference, I haul a 3700 horse trailer and with one or two horses on board, this makes a noticeable difference in the reduction of ‘jolts’ when road seams, potholes are encountered. No noticeable difference when empty, but I am rarely empty. Good value for outcome.
by:
This was a great purchase. Works perfectly
by:

Was impressed when I used it, then I had my son move the truck while I watched and saw the movement, great product

I would most definitely,not recommend this product at all. Not blaming the seller, as they took it back, and I just got a solid ball from them instead. Pulling a 26’ cargo trailer, (nothing extremely heavy), the rocking ball would violently, “slam back” while taking off from a stoplight, and would violently “slam forward” when stopping for one. Literally thought the ball was going to snap off, it slammed so hard.
by:
I didn't know what i was missing with this rocker ball from Curt. It has proven to provide a smoother towing experience!
by:
Great addition to any hitch, cushions the bumps, especially in glorious stop and go traffic on memorial day!
by:
Huge difference with this tow ball it eliminates the forward jerking of truck and trailer very smooth towing now huge difference.

Glad to hear it's working well for you, Edward! What kind of trailer have been towing with it?

by:
I was in the market.
Looking for some kind of dampening hitch.
But all the hitches I found We're over $300. I stumbled upon the Curt rocker ball . It was interesting to me so I had looked up some reviews on it. There wasn't any good reviews on it, but there also wasn't any bad reviews either.
So I decided to give it a shot,
Since it was pretty Inexpensive. Since then, I've had it for a year and a 1/2 now And it's been amazing.something so simple,That works very well. You won't notice it as much if the trailer already tows very well But the trailers that do a lot of jerking You will feel the difference.
A night and day difference.to me it reduced it by By 80%. Very good product!
by:
I really like this. The additional height is just right to provide excellent weight distribution and prevents the jarring impact of the road, stopping and starting. I add grease regularly to maintain function.
