Features to know about

Smooths Out the Ride: Cushioned Shock-Absorbing Design

Towing doesn’t have to feel harsh on the road. The cushioned ball mount uses an interior polyurethane core that acts like a built-in shock absorber, taking out bounce and rhythmic vibration between your tow vehicle and trailer. It helps protect the driveline, hitch assembly, and whatever you’ve loaded behind you from jarring movement during starts, stops, and rough pavement.

Keeps Your Trailer Level: 4-3/4" Rise or 6" Drop

A level trailer tows better—plain and simple. This mount works in either a 6" drop or 4-3/4" rise position so you can dial in the right height for a steady, balanced pull. That makes it easier to line up your coupler, cut down on sway, and keep your load handling evenly across the axles.

Adjustable trailer ball mount for 2-inch hitch receiver with multiple height settings for drop and rise adjustment.

Adjustable steel trailer ball mount for 2-inch hitch with variable height positions for precise trailer leveling.

Built to Handle Heavy Loads: 10,000 lbs GTW, 2,000 lbs TW

When you’re hauling serious weight, strength matters. This fixed ball mount is rated for 10,000 lbs gross towing weight and 2,000 lbs tongue weight. The solid steel shank slides into any 2" x 2" hitch receiver and locks in place with a standard 5/8" hitch pin (sold separately), giving you dependable performance every time you hook up.

Lasts Through the Long Haul: Powder-Coated Steel Finish

Road grime, rain, and salt kick up on every trip, but this mount’s powder-coated steel construction holds up against corrosion and wear. The gloss black finish keeps it looking sharp while protecting the metal underneath for years of use.

Simple, Reliable Setup: Fixed Ball Mount That Just Works

No moving parts or adjustments to fuss with—just a straightforward design that stays tight and quiet once installed. The ball hole has a 1" diameter and sits 10-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole for easy coupling. It’s a get-in-and-go setup that makes towing smooth and predictable.

I prefer cushioned ball mounts to reduce stress on tow vehicle driveline. These just plain work. The only thing I quibble about is the fit in the receiver tube. It’s a bit sloppier than I like. I don’t know if the receiver tube is a bit oversize or the mount is a bit undersize, or if this is just the designed clearance. I’m going to try some long plastic shims to take up some of the slop.

But overall, I am pleased. I now have two, in different drops, for different tow vehicle and trailer combinations.
by:
I really appreciate the great selection of products you offer and your prompt delivery. Thank you for the excellent service!
by:
Parts came fast and they worked great took the band out of the trailer. Thanks for fast service.

If you trailer the same load, you will notice the difference right away

Works awesome - no issues

The cushioned ball mounts are absolutely wonderful. You never know there is a load behind you, you never feel the trailer behind you slamming or pulling. I have three cushioned ball mounts with 2,4,&6" drops for my trailers.

Awesome product. I tow an 18 enclosed trailer with 4 big Harleys and I never know that trailer is behind me. Cushioned ball mounts are the only type ball mounts to purchase.

by:
Everything fit perfect, great prices, and fast shipping! Hitch is seriously heavy duty and the 6 " drop put my boat trailer perfectly lever behind my Dodge 3500. Spare tire and rim fit very nicely on the front of my trailer with the Dutton tire carrier. These guys even hooked me up with free 3 day shipping! etrailer gets 5 stars for sure!
by:
Solid piece made in USA. Haven’t towed with it yet.
Great phone service. Quick shipping. Impressed by how well the drop hitch arrived, many times small dense items don’t fair well in transit. Due to double box plus great heavy box and extra attachments to the box this arrived great. Clearly etrailer has this down.
by:
Great hitch. Used the instructions on line for providing proper height calculation to level trailer. Perfect! Hitch has less noise when trailering and provides a level tow.
by:
Works great and very durable. I have a Silverado with a 6 inch lift on 35's and the 6 inch drop works perfect for my 28 foot boat on a triple axle extreme trailer and the 10 inch drop works perfectly for my dads double axle trailer. I had the aluminum 10 inch adjustable hitch if you guys are familiar with that and it works great but I bought The rock tamers mudflap system and the neck that goes into the receiver is too short. I had to buy new hitches for the rock tamers mudflaps system and I knew my drop size already and these ones are working perfectly.
by:
I pull trailers almost on a daily bases and this is a well made hitch. However I bought this hitch to reduce noise. and the fact is it rattles worse than the one I replaced.
by:
my trailers were pulling behind my Yukon. This made a huge difference when I upgraded to it from a standard, non-shock absorbing receiver. I use this with a 21' boat & a 18' flatbed - would recommend it highly.
by:
Hitch worked as advertised. Very smooth while pulling, braking, and accelerating. I would highly recommend this hitch for those who want to reduce the wear and tear on their drive train.
by:
Worth the money. Normally tow about a 700 lb load and it definitely made a difference. No more bumping/jarring during start/stop.
by:
truck, construction is solid! don't see any issues in the future, paired this up with Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set and couldn't be happier!

definetly would buy again.

on a side note, etrailer did a fantastic job getting this to me on time! paid the extra for the rush delivery and item was shipped within 30 minutes of me confirming my order! Never have I seen such a swift proccessing!

good job Etrailer, you just got a customer for life!
by:
These cushioned ball mounts work great. We had a 4" on our previous motorhome and purchased the 6" drop for our new motorhome. We tow a 7000 pound enclosed trailer and the mount works perfectly.
by:
Perfect drop for Suburban pulling horse-trailer. Excellent product. Lightning fast shipping. Pleasure to do business with 5 stars.
by:
Excellent product, arrived fast. Had a similar cushion hitch on my 1500, but needed a larger drop hitch for my 2500 and this fit the bill perfectly.
by:
Great product, very pleased with the construction and durability of this cushioned hitch. Would recommend this product to others.
by:
Great products made in the usa! The ordering tools on the website made it easy and the shipping was very fast. I will always order from etrailer for all my trailering needs.
by:
I HAVE HAD THIS TYPE OF HITCH IN THE PAST AND FIND IT
WORKS SUPER. THIS ONE FROM etrailer LOOKS VERY WELL
MADE
AND I'M SURE WILL WORK EVEN BETTER.
by:
I had initial order the wrong drop. Easy to return and then purchase the correct unit.

This thing works great. I’m curious to see how it will hold up in really cold weather this winter, but so far it has made my trailer towing experience much nicer
by:
Good price on a quality product! Very quick shipping. Thanks!
by:
Cilass V works great just the right drop for dodge ram 2500
by:
Hitch came relatively fast looks well-made haven't got to try it yet but seems to be everything I want in a hitch.

These cushioned hitches work great. Very cost effective solution.

  • Recommendation to Help Back and Forth Movement in Trailer Hitch While Towing
    To 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....

  • Will a Cushioned Ball Mount Work with Surge Trailer Brakes
    The 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. Cushioned ball mount # AMSC4 has a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop but there are other options if you need a different rise or drop to tow the trailer level: #...

  • 2013 Toyota Venza Recommended Ball Mount for Towing a Camper
    I am happy to help you find the right hitch for your specific towing needs. I recommend the # AMSC6 Cushioned Ball Mount. This fits a 2 inch hitch receiver and will give you the 4.75 inch rise you need to meet your 18 inch coupler. In the rise position, this hitch has 4 inches of clearance between the back of the mount and the hitch pin hole so you will want to make sure that (will) fit your installed hitch receiver. I (have) attached a video for you to reference and see these dimensions....

    When we installed the etrailer brand # e98853 Class III hitch on a 2011 Toyota Sienna, we found that the inside top edge of the receiver tube sat 12 inches above the ground. The rise/drop of the ball mount you need will depend on the coupler height of the trailer you're wanting to pull.

That means that you would need to have at most 3 inches from your hitch pin hole on your 2016 Ford F-150 to the end of the hitch opening for the Rocktamer to fit on the # AMSC6.

  • Choosing the Right Ball Mount for 2 Different Trailers and a 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 w/2-1/2 Inch Hitch
    First, I would use a 2-1/2 inch ball mount for the 2-1/2 inch hitch on your 2013 Dodge Ram 2500. Going with the matching size will fit better than using a reducer sleeve. Normally I would say an adjustable ball mount is the way to go except you have reservations about them. If you change your mind I have included a link to the adjustable ball mounts that fit a 2-1/2 inch receiver. For fixed ball mounts you will need to do some measuring to determine the correct rise or drop you will need...

So the interchangeable ball set you would need would be the # 900b as it comes with a 2-1/2 inch long shank.
