Towing can mean constant bouncing and vibration, especially over rough roads or during quick stops. This ball mount uses a polyurethane interior inside the shank that acts as a shock absorber to dampen those jolts. It helps protect your hitch assembly, driveline, and trailer contents from harsh movement so everything feels smoother and quieter on the road.
Level towing is key for stable handling and even load distribution. This mount gives you both a 2-3/4" rise and a 4" drop, making it easy to line up your trailer just right. Whether you’re hauling equipment, boats, or campers, it keeps the coupler height dialed in for balanced towing every time.
When you’re pulling serious weight, strength matters. The solid steel shank is rated for 10,000 lbs gross towing weight and 2,000 lbs tongue weight, giving you the confidence to tow large trailers without flex or worry. It’s a fixed design that keeps things simple and dependable when you’re hooked up and rolling.
Road grime, salt, and weather can eat through cheap finishes fast. This mount’s sturdy steel body is protected with a corrosion-resistant powder coat that stands up to rust and wear. It’s built for regular use while keeping that clean gloss black look over time.
The solid shank fits any standard 2" x 2" receiver, and the pin hole diameter is 5/8", which matches the common size used on most 2" ball mounts. It’s straightforward to set up—just slide it in, secure it with your existing pin or lock, add your hitch ball with a 1" diameter shank, and you’re ready to tow.

I have ordered from etrailer numerous times fast shipping and great service!
Very well built & seems to dampen the push n pull effect that my trailer has while hauling tractor & bush hog. Another great product from convert a ball..
Great product. Simple compact design. Dampens movement between tow vehicle and trailer. Makes for a smoother towing experience.
This is these second time ordering a cushioned ball mount from etrailer. It's the best mount out there because when you're attached to a trailer, it feels as if it's not attached. No more bouncing around. Fast shipment and excellent packaging.
The cushion feature in the hitch is great. For a heavy boat trailering it is a pleasant experience.
eTrailer is the best! Fast ship and no problems
I'll be using the heavy duty hitch to haul my 5,500 lb boat and trailer from Texas to Michigan this spring.
I am very happy with my purchase. Shipping on my items was very fast & packaged well. This hitch isn't the only item I purchased. I like all the items I received from you. Everything I purchased was made of very good qaulity material. And competative prices.
I would recommend buying from you to others !
I have used this product in the past. My new truck needed more drop. So I went from a 2inch drop to a 4 inch drop. I pull a 9500 pound boat. When I haul I have confidence when using this product. I like the idea of a cushioned hitch. I also use the convert a ball on the stinger.
Good, very solid ball mount with just the extra rise I needed, 2 3/4", to get level trailer and good clearance for the trailer jack.
But excessive shipping charges from etrailer, $[XX] for an $[XX] purchase. Found out to my cost later that [online vendor] would have shipped for free.
I have several of the convert-a-ball cushioned hitches!!! They are very strong and provide a cushion when starting and stopping. This lessens the shock to your vehicles drive train and makes your vehicle ride a little more smoothly and you feel less vibration from your trailer or whatever you are towing. I have visted their plant and seen their quality control. They test their products to the extreme!!!!!!!!!!! MADE IN THE USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great product and a Huge fan of the Cushioned Ball Mount System. Fast and simple. Excellent customer service received from E-Trailer! Package ordered shipped within the 3 days I selected. I would and have recommended E-trailer for their products. Thank you
I already had one of these cushioned ball mounts and bought a second so I can keep one with each of my trucks. Excellent product, noticeably quieter and smoother towing, and a high tow and tongue load rating. You get what you pay for.
E-trailer shipping time and customer followup are tops. I have bought a lot of items from them and never yet been disappointed.
Great service. Great product!
I am using the convert-a-ball with a 2 5/16 ball to pull a tilt bed car trailer. The 4 in. drop levels the trailer to perfect. There are no sharp jolts loaded or empty because of the cushioning effect. Great product.
Would not tow without one. I have overloaded on private property numerous times, and it still has not deteriorated the cushion. Makes regular towing much smoother. This unit, rated at 10k, with about 7500 lbs behind it, made my trailer feel a lot nicer then it is. If you spend big money on a trailer, no reason to use anything but these cushioned mounts.
These cushioned ball mounts are awesolutely awesome. I don't even know my trailer is behind the truck unless I look. They eliminate all the slamming and jerking of your tow vehicle you get with a regular hitch. I sold all my regular hitches and only run with cushioned ball mount hitches. I have the 2" and 4" drop mounts. I won't hesitate to buy a 6" or 8" drop cushioned ball mount should I ever need one. Do your tow vehicle a big favor and get one of these. You'll be glad you did too......
Will never buy another hitch without the cushion. It saves wear on the transmission jarring, and greatly smooth's out the ride. I actually will be ordering more for pulling wagons on the farm, as this one it ordered is set-up for the trailers with 2-5/16" ball.
Definitely would recommend to anyone who pulls a trailer.
purchase to tow motorcycle on vac. this ball mount is built very well. it stopped the bounce on section lines in the road. also works well with brake controller. does not affect backing. stopped metal bang at startup.the only concern about the reciever stem doesn't seem to go as deep into the reciever. its still secure just sticks out further
Everything arrived and was in good shape. The cushioned hitch worked really well as I use it to pull a parade wagon with a bunch of musicians on it. The previous hitch bounced enough that they complained about it. This hitch does a good job of dampening the start and stops. Everyone's happy and the music goes on!
This is my second bar with shock absorber I've purchased from etrailer - I really like how they function especially when stopping and starting .

Still working well. No issues. I do need to unload my older one that is to much of a for the f150. Thinking Craigs list or something.
Nice product, would definitely recommend if you do a lot of towing.
We used this on our 2012 Sienna AWD to pull the largest single axle closed top U-Haul trailer to move furniture and bikes 400 miles through the mountains of PA, WV, and VA with no trouble. I noticed less jerking from the hitch being transferred to our van than the last time I towed a trailer like this (though that was with a large sedan). Easy to install and seemed to have decent tolerances in regards to fit and finish. Definitely increased my confidence in towing with a light duty vehicle.
Already own one of these ball mounts and it is excellent. Got a new vehicle and needed a drop hitch/ball mount to tow a trailer correctly.

I love the product. I already had or own an ball mount and the convert a ball setup. That is the reason I purchase another one but with the four inch . I have and will to continue to recommend the product.
As a full-time RVer, e-shopping is very important for us. etrailer was the right place to shop. Right product, delivered on-time for a great price. You beat the local discount RV store by $25 including shipping. At the same time, I had another outfit send me a clearly inferior product to the one they displayed. Said they would e-mail a pre-paid shipping label for the return (didn't) and tried to put the blame on Amazon.
Thanks etrailer for a great experience !
