Towing over uneven pavement or rough terrain can send jarring movement through your truck and trailer. Inside this Convert-A-Ball ball mount, a polyurethane core cushions those impacts, cutting down on bounce and vibration. That means less slamming during stops and starts, and less stress on your driveline, hitch assembly, and everything in your trailer.
Level trailers handle better and sway less. With a 6-3/4" rise or 8" drop, this mount makes it easy to match the right height for whatever you’re towing. The shank fits a 2" x 2" receiver, so once you line up the right position, you’re set for stable towing every time.
Heavy hauls demand solid gear. This fixed steel ball mount carries up to 10,000 lbs gross towing weight and 2,000 lbs tongue weight. The sturdy steel shank holds its shape under load, while the welded gusset keeps everything rigid when you’re pulling serious weight.
Road salt and grime can eat away at unprotected metal fast. The gloss-black powder coat on this ball mount keeps rust from taking hold and helps it stay looking sharp after long trips. It’s the kind of finish that holds up season after season with no fuss.
There’s nothing complicated here—no moving parts or adjustments to fuss with. The fixed ball platform gives a solid mounting point for a hitch ball with a 1" diameter hole and at least a 2" long shank. Slide it into your receiver, pin it with a 5/8" hitch pin (sold separately), and you’re ready to tow with confidence.

eTrailer has the best prices and the fastest shipping! Customer service was very helpful. The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount is extremely heavy duty and is perfect for the new 2015 Yukon XL.
Great quality ,Made in USA, Right out of the box you could tell this was a quality piece.. The cushion system helps out especially when towing a heavier trailer when you stop and start..
Etrailer.com was a pleasure to do business with.
After carefully considering all the options, I went with the cushioned ball mount. I was pleased with the excellent shipping and quality of the product - exactly as advertised. I am anxious to get this ball mount into use on my truck with a car hauler trailer. Thanks to etrailer for a great online shopping experience - I will be coming back for sure.
Paula and etrailer are great! I needed a higher rise hitch and Paula was great to help me return the one I purchased and get the right one ordered!!!! Thank you!!!
Placed a 6 inch lift under my 350 Ford, found these 8 and 10 inch drop hitches to be of great quality and good value. The order shipped free and only took 3 days to receive. Great company that I will inform my friends of and use in the future. Thanks !
Awesome product and great customer service. I received a notification every step of the way to let me know that the product I ordered was available and would be shipped shortly and again when it shipped. Received my mount a day ahead of schedule. Will definitely buy from etrailer.com again.
Excellent product. Basically eliminates any shock and hitch rattle when towing my boat.
I have been looking for an 8 inch drop Class IV draw bar for my motor home to get my car trailer to pull level during a 1500 mile trip to Oshkosh, WI. None could be found with the weight rating required. Andrea C. at etrailer.com was very helpful, ordered exactly what I needed and the parts were delivered to a campground where I was staying safe and complete. My order was delivered in 2 days, the order was complete and in perfect condition. I would suggest you go on-line or give them a call for any trailer parts or accessories you might need. Thumbs up!
This ball mount is a beast. It may be a little overkill for my little trailer, but better safe than sorry. Hooking a small camper to a Nissan Pathfinder required an 8" drop and this fit the bill perfectly.
Extremely sturdy unit and the shipping was fast. Ordered it Friday and received it the following Tuesday. Not impressive until you add the fact that I'm In Calgary AB and it came from MO. That's fast.
I've ordered many things from etrailer and the service has always been exceptional.
Owned for 1 year, it has been reliable and no issues. Happy about the availability of various drop sizes. I’m not sure that the cushion makes a huge difference on light trailers. I have one of these for my boat and I think it makes a bigger difference than for my light snowmobile trailer.
I needed a 10,000 lb. rated hitch with an 8" drop to tow my car trailer and this hitch fit the bill. I LOVE the cushioned mount system! Another winner from etrailer.com.
Solid part
This product and company is very good. Ask you would like and expect. On this particular ball mount; I couldn't attach my Anti-rattle bracket due to the triangular brace on the underside of it interferes. Using it in my 2004 F350. I'll try again to figure something out but an not willing to cut into it modify anything on this back mount which would compromise it.
This ball mount was EXACTLY what i have been searching for! I was searching for months to find something with this big of drop and the right weight ratio and was not been able to find it until i found it on this website and i COULDNT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER! Exactly what i needed to pull my horse trailer. Very accurate discription and fast shipping!
thanks so much Etrailer.com!
I wanted my truck and cargo trailer to ride level. This drop down hitch worked perfect. The cushioned trailer hitch receiver was an added benefit. The UPS tracking feature was fun to watch as the package traveled from town to town. I will give you folks an A+++ for quality and service. Thanks for the personal touch in your E-mail inquiry. Awesome Possum
Bought a new 4X4 pickup and old ball mount was too high. This cushioned ball mount was just what I needed. I measured the drop per e-trailers guide and it came out perfect. The new ball had a 1" shank that fits tightly in the ball mount and the new pin allows any alignment of the clip which is real handy. The pin was about 1" longer than it needed to be but makes it easy to slide my breakaway cable on it. I tow two different trailers, 1500 & 2700 pounds, so I have lots of margin with this mount and ball.
Nothing complicated here. Ball mount works as advertised. Good price, fast delivery.
I love this hitch!
It took 100% of the annoying trailer bumping and tugging that you feel when pulling a trailer. I have a 2012 tahoe and pull a 1000 pound trailer frequently, after getting this hitch I sometimes forget im pulling a trailer.
Works like a champ

Works great
I wish it would have a little more tongue weight capability but by far the best one I’ve found for the money. Apparently with 8” drop it can’t get much more weight capacity? It does appear to be fairly heavy duty and compared to some I’ve seen in stores locally for an 8” drop I’m glad I bought this one. Shipping was extremely fast. Ordered it at 8:00 at night, it shipped at 10:00 same night and received it on Monday. Great service!!
I have a 2011 Dodge diesel 3500. I tow a large horse trailer and haul heavy loads of hay on a flat bed trailer...I need a hitch with large towing capacity and strong tongue weight...I looked locally and was not able to find one with an 8 inch drop. My truck is 4 x 4 and has air bags in the rear...I needed an 8 inch drop to keep my trailer level... The hitch I got from Etrailer is just what I was looking for and gives me assurance that I will not be over loading my hitch..

The 8 inch deop cushoned ball hitch I got is working just great. I have had no problems at all and am very happy with it.. Thanks, Al M
Excellent quality. Ordering was easy and delivery was fast. Looks like the perfect amount of drop for my jeep to keep trailers level.
To be honest, I really haven't noticed it, I towed my trailer from Tennessee to California, from California to Oregon to north dakota and back to Tennessee, I don't ever remember felling the trailer, so it makes me feel ya hitch works.
I have a 2012 GMC Sierra HD with a 12" suspension lift. I recently purchased a ball mount hitch with 8" inch drop for our 36' RV trailer and it worked great. It took 3 days for the hitch to get to me. Great service from e-trailer.
I use this hitch when I pull my horse trailer to make the stop/start transitions as smooth as possible for the horses in the back. It works great. I also love that its a category IV hitch. Really heavy duty. My truck sits pretty high, and the amount of drop - 8" is perfect. I never worry about hitch failure travelling with my horses - they're a heavy load, and any failure would be a disaster.
E Trailer provided excellent service, and their shipping to Canada was prompt and hassle free. Way to go guys, keep up the great work!
