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

Great product!
So I’ve been wanting the rocker ball for a while now and I’ve finally bought it. I bought the kit and it comes with a regular curt hitch, anti rattle kit, and the Rocker Ball. Construction seems solid on all Items. The hitch did arrived with a small area the size of half a penny of the powder coating chipped. I think it might’ve occurred during transit. Installation is fast BUT and a big BUT is very difficult to keep the rocker ball aligned to the hitch while you are torquing the nut. Mine ended up being noticeable sideways when I finished torquing it. I had to try it a couple of times and even then I couldn’t torque it all the way without 1. The rockerball assembly going sideways and 2. Without the tabs on the metal bracket bending.( one corner did bend. Anyways seems like a good product and if you don’t care of the Rockerball not being sorta aligned ( I honestly think that it shouldn’t be of fwhen fully tightened because then the rocker ball is not going to move straight back and straight forward) then I supposed it’s ok... If you are like me that gets bothered by details like this then find something else. I would’ve returned it but I scratched the hitch trying to get the Rockerball sorta aligned. Anyways take my experience with a grain of salt and good luck.
The hitch works great as advertised. A great company to deal with along with their prices.

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.

I just purchased a new hideaway hitch system. But the hitch sits only 15 inches off the ground at best. And, my trailer coupling is 22-23 inches off ground. So l needed 7-8 inches of rise on the new 1.25 inch receiver system.
Internet research took me to etrailer and the Brophy hitch. I got 5.5 inches with the Brophy hitch, the highest available for a 1.25 inch receiver I could find. The others are limited to 5 inches max. I added another 1.5 inches with your Curt shock absorbing hitch. Voila, with a combined 7 inches of rise and on level ground the trailer now rides perfectly level!!!! Both parts were very easy to connect.
Delivery was speedy. Thank you for saving the day and my investment in an expensive new hideaway hitch!
Review from a similar RockerBall in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Somewhat disappointed in Curt with this product and I have always been a big Curt fan. The first one of these I ordered was the listed 3" drop unit. The base of the rocker ball is almost 1 7/8" tall so on a 4 inch drop ball mount its really only a 2 inch drop hitch so be aware when ordering. I had to send the first back and reorder the larger drop unit. When I received the larger drop unit I put it in the receiver like many other hitches I have used and proceeded to properly torque the ball down. Because the rocker ball has a pivot point its very important that it stay parallel to the receiver. Curt includes a sheet metal plate that shims in between the ball mount and the ball to prevent it from turning. The plate is no where near strong enough though and at 224 ft/lb the plate bent and the ball rotated. After the plate is bent it is almost impossible to get he thing torqued down right and lined up.

I received my order one day late but everything turned out good and I already tried out the ball hitch and lock assembly and seems to tow pretty good so far

Like most any lock they can be a little temperamental after being out in weather a while, but a shot of lock lube or WD40 takes care of that. "Training the lock to your given key is a breeze, and I definitely like the convenience of not having to try and recall which key is needed to use them!

We have a small trailer pulling behind an SUV. This really cuts down the rocking as we drive.

Softens the bouncing on rough roads and bridges.

Took it out on its first trip and it worked flawlessly. Was skeptical it would make such a big difference but it did. Really lesser the jolting and jarring that made my wife so nervous every time we took the trailer out.
Review from a similar RockerBall in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
it was not packed well. it came in a Manila envelope without sufficient padding for such a heavy item. Labels all scratched up because of that. The item itself is good quality.
Review from a similar RockerBall in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Ball is not mounted. Pictures and videos show ball mounted. And when I have bought a “kit” in the past, the ball was mounted.
I can’t attach the ball myself and only reason I purchased from eTrailer was that pictures implied that the ball would be mounted.
