Convert-A-Ball ball mounts are designed with a polyurethane interior that helps to absorb road shock to limit bouncing and vibration while you tow over rough terrain. It also reduces the slamming and banging that occurs during stops and starts. This helps to protect your vehicle's driveline, your hitch assembly, and your trailer's contents while you're towing.

by:

My third one of these, I feel they help take shock out of towing. Just bought a extra one instead of changing balls all the time.



by:

I like the way it cushions front and back jarring on rough roads.



by:

I own a couple of these in different drops and really prefer them over solid mounts. The cushioning does help protect the driveline of the tow vehicle and removes the harshness sometimes related to towing a trailer. Not cheap but well worth it to me.

Great! These are tough but easy on the tow vehicle. Still doing great even after a full year of pulling some fairly heavy loads. Recommended!



by:

Your company provided me with excellent service and great quality products, it was an excellent transaction and I would recommend you to everyone as a perfect seller. But how do I review a hitch mount and hitch ball? They are just inanimate objects sitting on the back of my truck, they don't do anything. They aren't mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic, they just sit there; however I know they will do the job of pulling my trailer just fine. Thank You for a perfect internet transaction!!!!! Skip



by:

Great/responsive service during the ordering process & the items arrived as promised. This Ball Mount is stout! The cushioning benefits work as described...much less hitch assembly noise in stop-n-go traffic than I've experienced in the past. Thanks!



by:

Thank you etrailer.com for the great service. I appreciate you keeping me informed about the status of my order and tracking information. Shout out to George J for informing me of my options and for shipping out my order ahead of schedule all the way to Hawaii. Aloha!!!



by:

This hitch is extremely well built. My plans are for farm use pulling various trailers and farm equipment. I also want to thank William who was very helpful because I ordered the wrong hitch the first time and he resolved my mistake and helped with the return and rushed the correct hitch to me. Look forward to doing business with etrailer for my future needs.



by:

Excellent product; second one I have purchased . Very well built and strong ; made in USA !!!
Etrailer is great and the place to figure out exactly what you need . as usual - quick shipping .



by:

I only use cushioned ball mounts as I'm sure that they are less harsh on transmissions, clutches etc. These ball mounts are definitely high quality and the best deal around



by:

I used to to pull an enclosed trailer cross country with everything I own, worked perfectly and gave me a smooth ride, the traffic was another thing lol



by:

Really well built product. I did find it to fit a little tight in my receiver. I had to grind some of the edges off so it fit and could be removed without having to hit it with a hammer. It is a really good product otherwise. It smooths out the trailer really well.



by:

Super fast shipping as usual. Have not pulled anything over 5,000 lb yet. I assumed the insert on the draw bar would be bar stock - it's tubular. Will be interesting to see how that does dragging a 14,000 lb trailer to Alaska. If it doesn't egg out, I will be impressed.



by:

Haven't actually used the hitch mount yet but it arrived much sooner than I thought in great shape.



by:

I needed a heavy-duty hitch for my 3500. This one works great...



by:

Excellent heavy duty



by:

Same as above.



by:

it is a great hitch, very strong built. will recommend it to anybody that needs one to buy it here



by:

Works well when heavily loaded.



by:

Great product and Super fast shipping! Thanks for another great purchase.

Haven’t used yet,but looks great!!

See what our Experts say about this Convert-A-Ball Trailer Hitch Ball Mount

  • How to Determine Rise to Choose the Correct Ball Mount
    To determine the rise (or drop for that matter) you need in a ball mount like the # AMSCV-4 you referenced you need to take a couple of measurements. Park both your trailer and tow vehicle on level ground. Measure from the ground to the inner top of the trailer hitch's receiver opening on the vehicle, as well as from the ground to the bottom of the trailer's coupler. The difference of these two is the rise or drop you need. If the trailer's coupler is higher than the receiver opening...

  • Can Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSCV-4 be Used with Hitch Lock
    Hey Andrew, yes the Convert-a-Ball Ball Mount part # AMSCV-4 is compatible with hitch locks like the part # HRLHP2. It would not be compatible with anti-rattle hitch locks though since the shank is not hollow.

  • Is Sag Caused by Trailer Tongue Weight Considered When Choosing Ball Mount w/the Right Rise or Drop
    At most the tongue weight of a trailer would cause about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of sag at the ball mount (give or take a little and different for every vehicle). But on a 2016 Ford F-250 the suspension is potentially beefy enough to limit the sag to even less than that. The trailer can be off of level one way or the other (high or low) by as much as 1 inch and still be considered level. For cushioned ball mounts that fit a 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver we have the following options: #...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2013 Ford F-350 with Factory 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch
    The OEM Ford 2-1/2 inch receiver has more rounded edges. Many 2-1/2 inch accessories, in this case ball mounts, have more squared off corners. This difference causes the squared off accessories not to fit. In some cases, some of the powder coating can be removed from the shank on the accessory as long as none of the metal is ground off. That could work on a ball mount like # 45123 since it has more rounded corners than something like # RP45323. If you use an accessory that has more rounded...

  • What is the Heaviest Cushioned Ball Mounts We Currently Offer
    The heaviest cushioned ball mounts we currently offer are 18,000 pounds gross towing weight. The tongue weight is 2,000 pounds. They are the Convert-A-Ball # AMSCV-6, # AMSCV-2 and # AMSCV-4. The most popular of the 3 we currently offer is part # AMSCV-6. It has a 4-3/4 rise and 6-inch drop. I included an FAQ and video reviews for you as well.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for a Ford F450 with a 2-1/2 inch Hitch Opening
    There are three ball mounts we offer that will work for the 2-1/2 inch hitch on your Ford F450 with a 2-1/2 inch opening. The problem that many encounter is that the Ford 2-1/2 inch hitches are very tight with round corners and many ball mounts like the Reese Titan Ball Mount # RP45323 that you referenced will not fit without modification. The ball mounts we have found to work on the Ford 2-1/2 hitches are the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSCV-2, the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSCV-4, and the...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation Rated for 14,000 Pounds Gross Trailer Weight on a Ford F-450
    To determine the receiver size you have, I have included a link to an FAQ that will help. The Reese 2-1/2 inch Titan ball mounts like # RP45323 or the one found in # EBMK25318, tend not to fit the factory 2-1/2 inch receivers on Ford Super Duty trucks. You will need to use one of the Convert-A-Ball ball mounts. We have # AMSCV-6 with a 6 inch drop or 4-3/4 inch rise. We also have # AMSCV-4 with a 4 inch drop or 2-3/4 inch rise. And then we have # AMSCV-2 with a 2 inch drop or 3/4 inch...

  • What Is Torque Rating For Hitch Balls Used In Cushioned Ball Mount For 2-1/2 Inch Receiver Opening
    For a cushioned ball mount like the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount, part # AMSCV-4, it uses hitch balls with a 1-1/4 inch shank. For a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball I recommend part # 19286 and for a 2 inch hitch ball I recommend part # A-90. The torque rating for both of these hitch balls is 450 ft. lbs.
