Features to know about
Levels Out Big Drops and Lifts: 10-3/4" Rise or 12" Drop
When your trailer sits way higher or lower than the tow vehicle, getting it level is key to keeping things stable. This ball mount gives you a huge 12" drop or 10-3/4" rise so you can match up with taller trucks or lower trailers without stressing the setup. The long 12-1/2" distance from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole helps with clearance and alignment when backing up or turning tight.
Smooths Out Road Shock: Cushioned Interior for Quieter, Easier Towing
Every bump and stop sends shock through your hitch, and that can wear down parts over time. The polyurethane interior inside this mount acts like a built-in buffer, absorbing bounce and vibration before it reaches your hitch or driveline. It’s especially nice on rough roads where the cushion helps keep the trailer steady instead of jerking around.
Built for Heavy Loads: 7,000 lbs GTW and 2,000 lbs Tongue Weight
Hauling larger campers, boats, or work trailers calls for real strength. This solid steel mount delivers with a 7,000-lb gross towing weight rating and a 2,000-lb tongue weight limit. It meets THMA V-5 and SAE J-684 standards, so you can count on it to handle heavy duty towing without flexing or bending under pressure.
Holds Up Against Weather: Steel with Powder Coat Finish
Rain, salt, and grime can eat through unprotected metal fast. The gloss black powder coat finish on this mount resists corrosion so it stays looking good and working right even after long trips in bad weather. It’s the kind of gear you can leave installed without worrying about rust taking over.
Simple, Straightforward Setup: Fixed Design That Just Works
No moving parts or complex adjustments here—just slide it into your 2" receiver, line up the pin holes, and secure it with a 5/8" hitch pin or lock (sold separately). The fixed design keeps everything tight and consistent every time you tow, so you can hook up and go without fuss.

Looks to be a well built hitch there's virtually no other 12" drop hitches short of expensive adjustable ones it's just about right for my custom bumper

This is a ball hitch mount that is not a standard unit, problem I had I purchased a new p/u going from a 2500 series which stood higher to a 1500 series standing lower by 4" also lowering 3 1/2" towing a 4800 pound boat as we all know, needing to tow level, that wasn't going to happen, this ball mount did the trick, fits D.O.T. standards also more than what i needed for weight requirements

Ball mount achieved the goal for my height requirements, what I didnt explain the piston action in the ball mount, it does cushion the back and fourth while towing considerably if and when I will buy one with it, also you got it to me in two days great device l

Exactly what I needed. This fits on my front receiver, which is hidden at the bottom of my grill. I needed the extended drop to keep the trailer level when manouvering. The hitch is of good quality. I’ve only used it at very low speeds. Works for me.

Looks good but haven’t towed with it yet. Price was a little higher after conversation and shipping but looks like a decent product. My truck is a dodge 3500 with a 6” long arm lift on 37” tires and this 12” looks like it will be perfect for my cargo and utility trailer’s. Other note it was a little loose in my 2” hitch so I added a receiver clamp to stop rattle.

fast shipping. Works great on my 2012 dodge diesel with 6" lift and 37" tires. The 10,000 lb. rating is the highest I could find with this much drop not to mention about half the cost of any other hitch I found. Customer service and shipping verification follow up is second to none. I'll be buying from them from now on.

Arrived today. Fast shipping, and thank you for that!
Seems to be a quality ball mount. Just what I needed to get the ball lower to tow my trailer. With this, now the top of the ball is at 16" where it needs to be. Custom built receiver on my old moving box van. Just need to weld on safety chain slots and paint it. Can't drop the lift gate with the receiver in (its pinned on both sides), but hey....I can tow now.

The hitch appears to be made very well and heavy duty. I haven't had a chance to tow with it yet, but this was the only company I could find that carried a 12 inch drop down in stock. I had two other companies cancel my order because the 12 inch drop was no longer available through them. Excellent price also.

Not that many non-adjustable option for a 12” drop and this one is the best! Love the cushion and it’s very strong. I put that to the test today when I got rear ended with it in the back of my truck. This thing saved the back of my Ram. Came right back to etrailer and ordered a new one!

This extreme rise ball mount is what I need to make my passenger car into a back-up trailer puller. It is well built and has a welded strut to reinforce the long rise/drop ball mount. The "shock damper" feature is sure to help absorb the leverage movement that a rise/drop ball mount passes on to the hitch receiver itself.

Tow infrequently; got new(to us) 2015 RAM 2500 pick up to tow our 38’ touring travel trailer. Have a HD WD hitch & adjustable sway control hitch set up we use for this trailer, but needed a drop hitch for our smaller Travel trailer& misc use haul trailer,,,,both much lighter & do not require the sway control set up. This drop hitch & ball fit the bill perfectly as the needed drop did not provide suffice t ground clearances to utilize the WD hitch mount setup (which was not needed) for those smaller loads. E-trailer worked w us to get the product we needed & an option that was inexpenve but sufficiently rated to pull our smaller trailers! Very happy our results !

It's the only 12" drop hitch I could find anywhere. I didn't need the polymer vibration absorption feature (which basically doubles the price from a standard drop hitch), but I needed this for a specific application, so I had to shell out the extra money for it. Seems very well made and strong. Time will tell!

- Is There A Fixed Ball Mount That Offers 12 Inches Of Drop?Hi Martin! I will admit to not knowing 100% what you mean, but the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 10-3/4" Rise, 12" Drop - 7,000 lbs # AMSC12 you were looking at does indeed have 12" of drop. It's actually the only fixed option we currently carry that offers this much drop as well. Out of curiosity, are you wanting this for a lifted truck? If so, what do you have?
view full answer... - How Does a Lift Kit Affect Towing?A body lift does not affect towing since it's only the body of your vehicle that's being raised; the stock suspension and wheels remain at their original height. With that being said, from what I was able to research online, your 6 inch Pro Comp Lift Kit may actually be a suspension lift. As far as the actual towing weight capacity is concerned, I am not able to tell you if and how much your 6 inch lift would affect it. I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer (Pro Comp) since they...

view full answer... - Can a Front-Mount Hitch and Adapter be Used to Push a Trailer Into Tight Spots?You certainly aren't alone having a bit of trouble backing up a long trailer. Using a front-mounted hitch is fine, but the Blue Ox adapter, # BX88132, is designed for flat-towing so it isn't going to work for you. What you can do instead is attach a fixed ball mount, and the Draw-Tite # 80248 is going to give you 9-3/4" of rise. Please keep in mind that the Draw-Tite has has a max gross towing weight (GTW) of 3,500 lbs and max tongue weight (TW) of 350 lbs in the rise position. If you...

Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will measure the coupler height from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is on level ground. Next, you will need to compute the difference. If the hitch height is...
view full answer... - Recommendation to Help Back and Forth Movement in Trailer Hitch While TowingTo help alleviate the back and forth chucking you are experiencing with your 2 inch receiver there are a couple of things I recommend doing. First is to use a cushioned ball mount, the Convert-A-Ball, which is designed to reduce this type of movement and additional road shock with its polyurethane cushioning interior; if you take a look at the accompanying diagram it displays the cushioned inside of the ball mount. I will list the different rise and drop available for this ball mount below....

- Ball Mount with the Most Drop for a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer HitchI have not seen a 1-1/4 inch ball mount that offered 12 inches of drop. The most that we have is a 6 inch drop # C45028 (Class I or II) or # BM96 (Class I). If this is for a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee I recommend switching to a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch, # 13251, so you can use a ball mount with more drop such as # AMSC12.

There are things you can do with the suspension on the trailer to raise its height. If the leaf springs are currently mounted to the underside of the axle, you can use an over/under conversion kits like # K71-384-00 for a 2-3/8 inch or # K71-385-00 for a 3 inch diameter axle beam, but you're only going to gain the diameter of the...
view full answer... - How to Pick Out the Correct Rise/Drop Ball Mount to Tow Trailer LevelI attached an FAQ for you to check out that details all of this, but what you need to do is get your truck and your trailer on level ground and take a couple measurements. You will need to measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer when it is sitting level, and then measure from the ground to the top of the hitch opening. Whatever the difference is the amount of rise/drop you need.

- How is Drop Measured and Determined on a Ball MountThe drop in a ball mount is measured from the top of the shank that inserts into the receiver tube to the top of the ball platform. See the video I've lined of ball mount # AMSC12. Around the 1:15 mark the drop measurement is demonstrated. To determine how much drop (Or rise) you need you'll want to have your tow vehicle and trailer on level ground and measure from the ground to the inside top of the receiver tube and from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler. Then find the...

The reason being that the adapter hangs down so low that in order to use the lowest receiver normally and keep the weight capacity of 10,000 lbs requires some extra stability.

- Will a Cushioned Ball Mount Work with Surge Trailer BrakesThe cushion inside of the Convert-A-Ball cushioned ball mount # AMSC4 would have only a slight affect on the surge coupler on your trailer. You may not even notice it. The cushion is very dense and the more pressure that is put on it the firmer it gets. It would take more force to compress that cushion than to actuate the surge coupler.

When the adapter/extension is in place your trailer hitch capacity will be reduced by 50 percent.

For a ball mount the one with the most rise we offer is the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 10-3/4" Rise, 12" Drop # AMSC12. For 1-7/8" or 2" hitch balls with this mount you'll need the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set # 901b; for a 2-5/16" hitch ball you'll need part # C40007.

This ball mount provides 12" of drop, 10-3/4" of rise, and 7,500-lbs of gross towing weight. If it's greater than 26", I recommend the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-316.

Keep in mind this is an extreme rise. Usually, needing a rise that large would be a good indication that you really shouldn't tow that trailer with your vehicle, but because the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailers are so light, you won't have a problem. You'll also need a 2 inch diameter ball like part # 63845.

The ball mount takes a ball with a 1 inch diameter shank. If the trailer coupler takes a 2 inch ball use high rise ball # C40034. If you need a 2-5/16 inch ball there isn't a high rise version that would fit so you would need to use a regular ball # 63847. If the coupler does take a 2 inch ball then # AMSC12 with # C40034 will provide you with approximately 12-3/4 inches rise and you...

Big drop ball mounts are becoming harder and harder to find. But more importantly, you mention your custom bumper, I don't think I've ever seen one like that. I need to know the story behind it.
