Parts came fast and they worked great took the band out of the trailer. Thanks for fast service.
by: Mike B04/07/2016
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.
by: Adam06/12/2013
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: Kenneth05/04/2016
Its was the right drop for the height of my truck, and works as well and maybe even better than my last hitch. I think it might be do to the covert a ball I am using with it which lets me tow different trailer with different size ball's.
by: Kyle W01/24/2015
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: Bob P01/25/2017
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: MX03/14/2018
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: Nelson S.10/07/2016
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: Yatish D.08/23/2012
Picked up this drop bar for my lifted f150 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: Russell04/08/2022
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: Sam04/18/2017
Worth the money. Normally tow about a 700 lb load and it definitely made a difference. No more bumping/jarring during start/stop.
by: Norm Mac09/10/2015
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: Scott H.10/01/2012
I sought this concept out to cure how rough 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: Bryan C06/20/2016
Perfect drop for Suburban pulling horse-trailer. Excellent product. Lightning fast shipping. Pleasure to do business with 5 stars.
by: Chad W.05/20/2015
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: Dennis B.04/26/2013
Ordering was easy working with a person that was knowedlegable of your products. The product is what I needed, delivery was fast, and Quality is good. THANKS for a HITCH made in the USA.
by: Looks great 08/03/2017
Hitch came relatively fast looks well-made haven't got to try it yet but seems to be everything I want in a hitch.
by: Mark12/29/2019
My second cushioned receiver (needed a different drop).. noticeable difference in towing quality. No more clunks and jerky start and stops!! and must be easier on drivetrain also..
by: Jim02/20/2019
Cilass V works great just the right drop for dodge ram 2500
by: Patrick K.12/18/2013
The hitch was great, the cushioned hitch is the only way to go, the delivery was fast
by: Robert 09/11/2022
Works fine as far as I can tell
by: Jb06/24/2020
Great product, very pleased with the construction and durability of this cushioned hitch. Would recommend this product to others.
by: Steve 09/28/2021
It looks great, but I’ve never used one of these cushion ball mounts. I’m anxious to try this out. Hopefully Incan provide a glowing followup review. :-)
by: FRANK M01/15/2014
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.

See what our Experts say about this Convert-A-Ball Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Measurement from Center of Hitch Pin Hole to Support Gusset on Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball MountThe video may not cover it, but one of the pictures shows what you are looking for. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of that gusset is 4 inches on ball mount # AMSC6.

- Choosing the Right Ball Mount for 2 Different Trailers and a 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 w/2-1/2 Inch HitchFirst, 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...
view full answer... - Availability of Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount with 2 Inch DropWe do indeed offer a Convert-A-Ball cushioned ball mount with a 2 inch drop. We offer it as part # AMSC2. If you click the provided link, you can see a demonstration video featuring the # AMSC2 ball mount.
view full answer... - What Size is the Hitch Pin Hole of the Convert-a-Ball part # AMSC6HDThe hitch pin hole diameter of the Convert-a-Ball part # AMSC6HD that you referenced is 5/8 inch which is the standard size for ball mounts like this that fit 2 inch hitches.
view full answer... - Will Curt Hitch Ball 40038 Work with Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC6The Curt 2" Hitch Ball # 40038 that you referenced will work perfectly with the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC6. This hitch ball features the needed 1" diameter shank and it's plenty long enough for a secure attachment. If you had a level setup with your 5-1/4" drop ball mount this 6" drop # AMSC6 is the better choice over the 4" drop model. This is because the rear of your tow vehicle is going to sag/drop just a bit when the trailer is hooked up, which will bring you closer to that original...
view full answer... - Version of Convert a Ball Cushioned Ball Mount with 6 inch Drop That Fits 2.5 inch HitchYes, the # AMSC6HD could be used with a hitch reducer sleeve like you mentioned but since these types of adapters can cause a bit of movement your best option would be the version of this ball mount that is designed to fit 2-1/2 inch hitches directly part # AMSCV-6. This has the same 6 inch drop but has a higher 18,000 lb towing capacity.
view full answer... - 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. 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: #...
view full answer... - Is it Okay to Use Cushioned Ball Mount with More Capacity than NeededIt really doesn't hurt to have a ball mount with more capacity than needed. If anything it's just added insurance that the ball mount wouldn't fail. For 14k capacity cushioned ball mounts we have the part # AMSC2HD which has a 2 inch drop, part # AMSC4HD which has a 4 inch drop and part # AMSC6HD which has a 6 inch drop.
view full answer... - How to Determine if the a RockTamers Mudflap System Will Be Compatible with Convert a Ball MountYour Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System # ERT00108 requires 1 inch of clearance on the shank of the ball mount to fit like what you see in the picture I attached. 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. I attached a picture for it as well that shows that it has 4 inches from the center of the ball hole to the bracket for the ball mount...

- Can a Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount Be Used with a Surge Coupler for Hydraulic BrakesThe Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount for 2 Inch Hitches # AMSC6 that you referenced can be used with a surge coupler for hydraulic brakes, but you may notice a difference in how the trailer tows. We have had customers write reviews on both sides of the issue. Some have had no problems while others noticed it affected the braking of their trailer. I spoke with my technical contact at Convert-A-Ball about their cushioned ball mounts, and he said they do not have a stance one way or the...
view full answer... - Will The Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC6 Help Reduce Bounce On Coachmen Clipper TrailerThe item you selected, Cushioned Ball Mount, part # AMSC6, will help a bit in any noise or bounce of the drawbar. The recommended rise and drop for a ball mount on your 2011 Volkswagen Routan is 2 inch rise and 4 inch drop. You will need to use Cushioned Ball Mount, part # AMSC4. Another thing that can contribute to the rough ride you are feeling is low tongue weight. The tongue weight on your Coachmen Clipper 1285 SST may be very low. Proper loading of the trailer, with heavier items...
view full answer... - How to Pick Out Ball Mount for 2014 Toyota Sienna Towing Boat TrailerI wasn't able to find the coupler height of the trailer you are interested in so your best option would be to contact who you are buying it from and have them measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler lip with the trailer level. When we installed the Draw Tite # 76112 on a 2014 Toyota Sienna like yours we found that it measured 12 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch opening. If you compare that 12 inch figure to the coupler height you get for your trailer you'll be...
view full answer... - Gaining Rise With a Hitch BallYou can get get a hitch ball with a 1 inch diameter shank that will give you 2 inches of rise with a 2 inch ball # C40034, though that is going to limit your towing capacity to 6,000 lbs. If you needed to stick with a 10,000 lb towing capacity, then you would need a new ball mount, # C45338 for 8 inches of drop, # AMSC6 for 6 inches of drop or if four inches of drop was needed, # AMSC4. I have added links to video reviews of each of these ball mounts for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Can the Cushioned Ball Mount Part # AMSC6 be Used with a Reese Friction Sway ControlYes, the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC6 that you referenced will work with the Reese Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003 because it is a Class IV ball mount with a 1 inch ball hole to let you use a Reese Sway Control System part # 83660.
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....
view full answer...
- Ball Mount with 6 inch Drop and Interchangeable Ball Set Recommendation The thickness of the sway control bracket part # RP26003 that you would need is 3/8 of an inch. The ball mount you are interested in part # AMSC6 calls for a shank that is 2-1/8 inches long. So the interchangeable ball set you would need would be the # 900b as it comes with a 2-1/2 inch long shank.
view full answer... - Compatibility of Convert-A-Ball Cushion Ball Mount and Reese Sway Control BracketThe Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount, # AMSC6 can be used with the Reese Sway Control Bracket, part # RP26003. The bracket and ball mount are compatible with a trailer ball that has a 1 inch diameter threaded shank. This ball mount can be used in the rise position.
view full answer... - How Do You Orient Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount AMSC6HD To Be Used In Rise Position?You are correct. To get the 4-3/4" rise you need with the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 4-3/4" Rise, 6" Drop - 14,000 lbs # AMSC6HD you were looking at you will insert the ball mount so the portion that the hitch ball installs into will be point up. You will need a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" diameter shank so I recommend the 2" # A-90 or 2-5/16" # 19286. I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - 2013 Toyota Venza Recommended Ball Mount for Towing a CamperI 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....
view full answer... - Correct Cushioned Ball Mount For 4-1/2" to 5-1/2" Drop For 2" HitchFor a drop between 4-1/2" and 5-1/2" use the Cushioned Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 4-3/4" Rise - 6" Drop # AMSC6. This will fit your 2" hitch and the only other things you will need are the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19260 OR 2" Hitch Ball # 63845 with Hitch Lock # e98880 OR Hitch Pin and Clip # 37201074.
view full answer... - How to Match Different Heights of Hitch Ball and Trailer Coupler for Safe Level TowingThank you for providing a photo of your trailer coupler. Trailers should always be level when hitched. If a trailer is out of level when towed it will tend to have more sway. I notice you have weight distribution (WD) lift brackets on your trailer frame. If you are using a WD system you can get a new shank that has enough height drop to let your trailer be level when hitched. Based on your 6-inch height difference between the hitch ball and coupler, you can use a WD shank with 5-6 inches...

- Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Honda OdysseyFor a trailer hitch for your 2015 Honda Odyssey we'd recommend the Draw Tite part # 75270 which is a confirmed fit and is a 2 inch hitch and has plenty of towing capacity for towing. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you'd then want the # 118521 which is a confirmed fit as well and is the most reliable option we have. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested...
view full answer... - Availability of a Ball Mount that Provides a 6 Inch RiseThe Draw-Tite Ball Mounts, item # 4283, does not come in a 6 inch rise configuration. At this time we do not have a ball mount with a 6 inch rise available. We do offer two ball mounts with a bit higher rise. The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount for 2 inch Hitches, item # AMSC6HD, has a 6-1/2 inch rise, and the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount, item # AMSC8, has a 6-3/4 inch rise. You could get exactly a 6 inch rise by using the Diversi-Tech Aluminum Ball Mount, item # DTBM5600,...
view full answer... - Can Hitch Stabilizer be Used With Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount For 2" HitchGood question, and you can definitely still use a hitch stabilizer with the cushioned Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC6HD. Even with a stabilizer there is still going to be some play in the hitch, so combining it with the cushioning of the Convert-A-Ball is going to be the best way overall to reduce any bounce or rattling, and I recommend going with the Brophy Stabilizer Clamp # RSCP. You can secure the ball mount to your hitch with Hitch Lock # e98880 and for a hitch ball...

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.
