Specs:
Convert-A-Ball ball mounts are designed with a polyurethane interior that helps to absorb road shock to limit bouncing and vibration while you tow over rough terrain. It also reduces the slamming and banging that occurs during stops and starts. This helps to protect your vehicle's driveline, your hitch assembly, and your trailer's contents while you're towing.
This Convert-A-Ball ball mount meets or exceeds THMAV-5 ratings in all categories and meets SAE standard J-684.

Today we're taking a look at the convertible ball mount for two inch hitches. Now this ball mount simply lets you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank, which is this portion here, it slides into the vehicle's hitch receiver, and the ball platform provides a mounting point for a hitch ball, which is sold separately, and then you could connect it to your trailer's coupler. Now, one of the things that sets this apart from any other ball mount out there on the market is internally, so in this shank . This shank's a hollow design. Internally, there's a polyurethane interior that acts as a shock absorber, so that's going to reduce bounce and rhythmic vibrations so it really helps protect the tow vehicle's driveline and hitch assembly as well as the trailer's content, so as you accelerate or break, this polyurethane interior acts as that shock absorber.
So, it's going to result in a smoother ride, you're not going to feel that transfer as much between your trailer and your tow vehicle.Now this is a tall ball mount, so that means that it has quite a large drop. It makes it easy to couple your trailer to your lifted or taller pickup truck. You can use this in the drop position, or you could flip it over, and use it in the rise position as well, so both rise and drop options are available to help ensure level towing. It's a sturdy steel construction, it's got the nice brace support here on the back side for added strength and durability, and it has a corrosion resistant powder coated finish.Now, to secure this in your hitch, you will need a hitch pin and clip, or a hitch lock. Those items are sold separately and available at etrailer.com.
The product's made in the U.S.A. It fits inside of a two inch by two inch trailer hitch receiver. It offers a gross towing weight of 8,000 pounds, and a maximum tow weight capacity of 2,000 pounds. I did take a measurement from the very back of the unit to the outermost front part. That gives us an overall length of about 15 and a half inches.
From the center of the hitch pinhole, to the center of the hitch ball hole, that's about 11 and a half inches, and then from the pitch pinhole to the back of the shank it's about two and three quarter, from the center hitch pinhole to the closest point of the support right here, it's about four inches.Now if you're using this in the drop position, it's going to give you a drop measurement of around 10 inches. That's from the inside top edge of the receiver tube of your hitch, down to the top of the ball platform. If you're using it in the rise position, it's going to give you a maximum rise from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform of about eight and three quarter inches. When choosing a hitch ball, you need to make sure that your hitch ball shank does not exceed the diameter of this hole right here, and the ball hole diameter on this mount is one inch, and then the pinhole diameter for security in the hitch it's five-eighths of an inch.That's going to do it for today's look at the convertible ball mount for two inch hitches.

Exactly as described.........seriously rugged. I now have complete confidence in the hitch system on my dump trailer! 718726
Needed a 10" drop rated for at least 6000 lbs. Hard to find. This one is good for 8,000, so well within the margin of safety. Arrived within a week, counting the 4th holiday. 668171
Good heavy duty hitch at a great price with fast shipping 659987
Great selection of products. Found exactly what I needed. Fast shipping. Great products. 653495
This drop hitch is exactly what I needed and as described. I have pulled cargo trailers, boats and even moved a camper to the lake and it worked perfectly. The experience with the order process and shipping was great! Thanks etrailer for everything! 634339
Terrific drop hitch for a lifted truck. I use the 12" drop, my son uses the 10" drop. Great price and very well built. The thick gusset on the backbone helps it stand up to a year of continuous use with a lifted truck. 576758
Bought a new tow vehicle and needed a longer drop down shank for my travel trailer. No one locally had this size in stock and all wanted to charge an arm & leg to "special order" it for me. I politely turned them down and came here to etrailer.com to order it myself. Website was extremely easy to navigate to find the one I needed, including providing me with detailed examples of how to figure out which length I needed. Ordered this item and the 2.5" - 2" adaptor with 3 day shipping, and both arrived in 2 days! Tested them out to make sure they fit my hitch (they did) and then over to make sure they would leave my trailer level for towing (it is). Very pleased with etrailer.com and am already looking at items on here to start customizing my new truck with. Thanks! 550416
From opening the box, the product came as I had expected. However, this is a very sturdy hitch. I was impressed to see the tall drop with the capability of carrying 5k plus. I needed it in two days and you guys shipped it quick fast and in a hurry. Great product and excellent customer service. 549352
Works well. You can tell a difference between this "cushioned" ball mount vs a solid one. 520281
Exactly what I needed. Love the way it set my trailer back away from my lifted such, so now I never have to worry about the lift gate hitting and jamming against the "v" front of my trailer again. The dampening is nice too, but will take a little getting used to. 510604
Excellent product, but I am writing this review about the service. Etrailer shipped these parts to a campground so I could install on my new RV. Service and shipping is excellent. 506696
Excellent product! It came to me exactly, & onetime, as advertised. I'm very happy with this ball mount. 490716
Its just what I needed. Have used many times in fact.
It's a little bit pricey but very well built. It's getting hard to find sturdy American built products. So if you plan on using this a lot, bite the bullet don't buy cheap. Get a locking hitch pin too! 482849
Good strong receiver. I use it on a motor home with a very high hitch to get down to my trailer tongue height. 452231
Very happy with the hitch. I used it the very next day after I got it and it worked great and is well built. I also ordered a second hitch and received it the very next day. etrailer has very fast shipping and good prices. 446217
My husband approves of the strength, the solid welding on the gusset and is expecting the 10" drop to level the trailer out on our 1000+ mile trip hauling a tractor and all the implements. Additionally, he's expecting the cushioned feature to smooth out some of the jerking. We'll check back when we reach our destination and let you know if all expectations are met. 442401
I received this yesterday and already put it to good use. I live in the country where rough and snakey dirt roads are common. This hitch allows for tighter turning with its extension outwards (not straight up and down) which is the main reason why I bought it. The construction is very sturdy and the cushion inside made the bumpy roads much more manageable. I would recommend this drop hitch. 424265
Hitch has operated perfectly for the past year. I like the urethane shock absorber that cushions the forward movement of the trailer. It was used on a 24' enclosed cargo pulled by an F350 with 8" of lift. 417507
Good hitch. Better then a regular one. It makes starting and stopping a boat trailer less jerky. 358553
Very fast shipping. Very pleased with this heavy duty drop hitch. I traded vehicles to a GMC Yukon and had difficulty finding a 10 inch drop to pull my 16 foot retro travel trailer. I was so pleased that I immediately ordered a couple more things from etrailer.com. Thanks! 355896
Thank you, thank you - product is made in AMERICA !!!!! No Chinese junk. 342495
Works great! I got a 2012 Rams 3500 with 33s on it. Now most of my trailers can ride level once again. The dampener where the pin goes through from the receiver is a nice touch as well. 341111
Pure quality and service. Thanks for 322574
This is such a great idea! It works flawlessly with my Jeep Wrangler and my Offroad trailer. The dampening incorporated into the hitch makes my ride so much smoother. I used to hear the clanking, tapping and banging while braking and while trailering offroad, but not any more! I highly recommend this hitch to anyone. 319462
Have not towed with it yet but looks like what I need for my Motot Home. Arrived in two days as promised. Well packed and undamaged. I will deffinately use E-trailer for any further towing needs. 318911
This is my second drop hitch , I have the 12" drop also. The hitches are strong and I am very happy with both. Thank you 317339
Excellent hitch. The cushion made a really big difference in pulling, highly recommended. Solid! 316790
I needed hitch that would work on my motorhome, drop 10in and pull 10000lbs. This hitch did it. 313099
Works great no jerking or bucking when towing sometimes forget I am towing. Arizone to Califorina 292488
Perfect drop for my truck does what it's suppose to do used to haul a car no complaints about it 286095
Works fine. 282968
Perfect. Arrived very quick. Made trailer tow much smoother. Will buy all future with the rubber inside. Great product and even better service. They run a company like a company should be run. 274100
This particular 10" drop hitch ball mount was the right mixture of quality, features, and low price. It appears to be quality built, and the shock cushioning is an unexpected plus. I used it right away today when I received it to tow my utility trailer to Lowe's. The trailer made less noise and rattling around in the receiver with this product. I have a lifted Jeep Wrangler and the 10" drop leveled out the trailer pretty well. Also happy the AMSC10 is made in the U.S.A. ! Ordering process and follow-up by e-trailer were first rate. Appreciate the additional quick delivery. 269620
Still doing great! Have used it several times and works well.
The Cushioned Ball Mount with an 8-3/4" Rise was needed to allow a 2004 Ford Van to tow my offroad capable Chalet Camp trailer. The Trailer sits level with the ball at ~20" off the road while this van's receiver sits at just over 11". The 10,000lb rating on this mount is way overkill for this 1500lb trailer but the cushioning should help avoid the "Klunk" sound every time we stop or takeoff. Thanks to Patrick and the Crew at etrailer for their help with this selection. 269506
1 year later... Hitch is still working fine. Tows the trailer like its not even back there.
serious heavy duty product Should last a few thousand years 259546
Shipped fast once the order was processed (thanks to help from customer service). Hitch, ball, and pins look great! I will order from etrailer again if I need anything. Great website! 258429
Its a ball mount what can I say. It's exactly what I wanted. The order was packaged and delivered very timely. It's not a common size so it actually happened quicker than I expected. I'll likely go to this company for future trailer needs. 253623
GREAT 10" DROP HITCH, WAS NOT SURE IT WAS BEEFY ENOUGH TO HANDLE 1600 LBS OF TONGUE WT. BUT NO PROBLEM. BEST FEATURE IS THE POLYURETHANE BUSHING THAT THE PIN GOES THROUGH. IT TAKES AWAY ALOT OF THAT ROUGH BANGING WHEN STARTING, STOPPING AND SMOOTHER RIDE THEN HITCHES W/O THE BUSHING. VERY PLEASED!! 247105
Perfect. Fast shipping 236511
Good 228527
The product was shipped very fast and great quality. No more calling part stores and having the people not find what you need on the computer. Thanks 227312
It was great that you had the ball mount and ball I was needing for my trailer with a rating of 7000 lb. It is a car hauler that is 19" high and the newer trucks are tall so the 10" drop is just right. Thanks 225206
great product, will be using it for sturgis bikeweek 2015, received it in just 3 days, thanks, yens are great 200626
Time will tell. cushioned mechanism is held in place with 2 small rolled pins. I am not sure it will stand up to its 10K rating. 196530
love the 10k rating, the cushion may help some but too soon to tell. 194621
Have not used the product yet but the transition and shipping went smooth and I would use your site again. ron 185002
Another item of a bigger order. Haven't used it as of yet however, the ball mount seems well made and rugged enough to do the job. Arrived in no time even with free shipping! Thanks E-Trailer folks! 183811
I purchased the AMSC10 because I needed a 10" drop hitch to tow my lowboy enclosed trailer with my lifted Toyota Tundra. I tried several other types of hitches with this towing combo and I was always disappointed. Mostly because of the fit/sloppiness of the ball mount into the receiver. This would cause a lot of noise and the feeling of the trailer "bucking" while hitting bumps and such. The other hitches that I tried were those cool aluminum ones, both a fixed one and an adjustable one. Although they were pretty, both left me very disappointed. The shipping for this hitch from Etrailer was fast and efficient. I received emails informing me of my order status throughout the whole process. Upon receiving my AMSC10, I tested it out and found it to be a much nicer fit into the receiver. Once I hooked up to the trailer and began to tow, the difference was extremely noticeable. This hitch is quiet, it doesn't buck, and in fact, comparatively, you wouldn't even know the trailer was behind you unless you looked. I am actually really excited about towing with this hitch. I know it sounds goofy, because it is, but it makes the task so much more pleasurable with the cushion ball mount. I'm already thinking about buying the 8" drop for my normal trailers. 177565
Works great on my truck. GMC with a 6 inch lift, air bags 35 inch tires and and a camper. Needed a strong hitch to tow my 14ft dual axle trailer on 4x4 roads as far as I can get back in the desert. Welds are very well done, one tough hitch! 175724
