CURT Trailer Hitch Ball

  • Trailer Hitch Ball
  • 2-5/16 Inch Diameter Ball
  • 1-1/4 Inch Diameter Shank
  • Shock Absorbing Ball
  • 12000 lbs GTW
  • CURT

Curt RockerBall with ShockDrop technology bolts onto your standard ball mounts to provide comfort and control while towing. Chrome ball has a 1-1/4" diameter x 2-1/8" long shank. Anti-swivel, forged steel base has black powder coat finish.


Features:

  • Hitch ball provides a connection point for your trailer's coupler
    • Fits most existing ball mounts
  • Integrated ShockDrop technology
    • Cushioned isolators reduce rattling and vibration for a more comfortable ride
    • Reduces shock loads to the vehicle during sudden braking or acceleration
    • Minimizes stress on tow vehicle's suspension and brakes for extended longevity
  • Fine threads provide tight, strong grip
  • Anti-swivel base is constructed of forged steel for dependable towing power
  • Durable carbide black powder coat finish on base
  • Corrosion-resistant chrome finish on ball
  • Virtually maintenance-free with no airbags or bearings to service
    • Built-in grease zerk makes it easy to lubricate when necessary
  • Tested for safety to meet SAE J684 specifications
  • Lock washer and nut included


Specs:

  • Ball diameter: 2-5/16"
  • Shank dimensions: 2-1/8" long x 1-1/4" diameter
  • Weight capacity: 12,000 lbs
  • 1-Year limited warranty


Note: All RockerBall hitch balls will sit 1-1/2" higher than a standard hitch ball due to the shock absorbing base.

The mounting platform on your ball mount must be at least 3/8" thick and the hole size must not be more than 1/16" larger in diameter than the ball's threaded shank.


Towing can be brutal, especially when your setup is outfitted with standard, metal-on-metal components. Steel and aluminum can only absorb so much vibration and chucking, so every time you hit a bump in the road, that shock gets transferred to the rest of your rig, leaving it vulnerable to wear and tear. Another unfortunate side effect is an uncomfortable ride for you and your passengers.


Protect your truck and trailer from road shock, vibrations, and rattling - and stay comfortable while you drive - with the shock-absorbing Curt RockerBall hitch ball.


Shock Absorbing ShockDrop Technology

Curt RockerBall with SockDrop Technology

The RockerBall hitch ball features Curt's innovative ShockDrop technology, which is engineered to suppress vibrations and rattling while you're towing. When you hit a bump, the ball compresses around the flexible, polyurethane core. This durable material absorbs excess shock at the coupling point so that it doesn't transfer from the truck to your trailer or vice versa. The result is increased control and comfort as you tow, as well as less wear and tear on your towing setup.


Premium Construction

Curt RockerBall Construction

This hitch ball is built to last with its forged steel construction and durable powder coat finish. The flexible, shock-absorbing polyurethane core withstands extreme heat for long-lasting performance, and the chrome-plated ball resists corrosion.


Curt RockerBall Zerk Fitting

The built-in zerk allows you to lubricate the isolator core when necessary, ensuring quiet and trouble-free operation.

Couldn’t ask for better service. Lauren A. went above and beyond to ensure that my shopping was pain free. With today’s customer service being what it has become, it’s encouraging to see the customer comes first. Will continue to buy through etrailer. Thank you Lauren.



by:

Received product before due date however, both our WD Hitches do not have the standard piece to allow the Anti-Rotation Plate to be useful. Pictures attached.
Checking with etrailer to see what can be done before modifying either the ball or the hitches. Only other issue was packaging, it was well packed on bottom side but not on top which allowed the product to distort the box it was shipped in but it did come fully in tact with no visible harm. Mentioning this for future delivery of such items.

I was able to contact Curt and the Curt RockerBall is not compatible with weight distribution systems. It is only compatible with a ball mount that has a 1-14 diameter ball shank hole.



by:

Good idea, though actual towing feels chaotic. Pulling a 4,500 pound camper trailer with a F150 - Max Tow Package and this hitch causes the trailer to surge back and forth when braking, accelerating and/or rolling over bumps in the road. I don't know if my hitch is defective or not, but I will not be using this hitch anymore. The other issue is, when torquing the ball hitch to the specified 450 ft/lbs - the flanges that are supposed to hold the ball in place bent and I had to find an alternative to secure it from turning.



by:

All seems great delivery was excellent product looks great but I haven’t installed it yet thought the pin was with it so do you have a very hard material pin that goes with the forged ball mount.
Let me know asap
Thx



by:

Softens the bouncing on rough roads and bridges.

Fantastic quality and customer service. Delivery was fast as well!

Unique design and well made. Eliminates a lot of push and pull from the trailer.

This hitch ball works great no slamming back & forth when stopping are starting. Just the right height for my F150 with a 4 inch curt drop receiver. I would definitely purchased again. Ran it with an unloaded trailer & a trailer with weight around 2500 lb. You want be disappointed in the purchase.

I was in the market.
Looking for some
kind of dampening hitch.
But all the hitches I found We're over $300. I stumbled upon the Curt rocker ball . It was interesting to me so I had looked up some reviews on it. There wasn't any good reviews on it, but there also wasn't any bad reviews either.
So I decided to give it a shot,
Since it was pretty Inexpensive. Since then, I've had it for a year and a 1/2 now And it's been amazing.something so simple,That works very well. You won't notice it as much if the trailer already tows very well But the trailers that do a lot of jerking You will feel the difference.
A night and day difference.to me it reduced it by By 80%. Very good product!



by:

This was a game changer for us. The previous hitch receiver made so much noise and we felt the trailer a lot more over bumps than we do with this new hitch. Highly recommend.



by:

Can kinda tell the difference when I pull a bumper pull trailer



by:

I just purchased a new hideaway hitch system. But the hitch sits only 15 inches off the ground at best. And, my trailer coupling is 22-23 inches off ground. So l needed 7-8 inches of rise on the new 1.25 inch receiver system.

Internet research took me to etrailer and the Brophy hitch. I got 5.5 inches with the Brophy hitch, the highest available for a 1.25 inch receiver I could find. The others are limited to 5 inches max. I added another 1.5 inches with your Curt shock absorbing hitch. Voila, with a combined 7 inches of rise and on level ground the trailer now rides perfectly level!!!! Both parts were very easy to connect.

Delivery was speedy. Thank you for saving the day and my investment in an expensive new hideaway hitch!



by:

Took an extra day to get it, but everything came in as promised and in one piece!

Another satisfying transaction =)



by:

High Quality Part. Easy to install. I would buy again for another vehicle.

P.S. etailer.com did a great job getting me this part. They processed & shipped this order immediately. I also appreciate that they made it easy to track the shipment. Thank You etrailer.com, I WILL be placing more orders from your company. Thanks again.



by:

Quality products. But the added height of this Curt shock absorbing rocker ball in combination with the 5-1/2” height Brophy bar, I still bottom out and scrape the inclined road to my house while towing my boat.



by:

on our NEW Ram 1500 truck this ball helps reduce the trailer vibration that gets transferred into the truck. it definitely helps with a smoother ride.



by:

Have not tested yet, but looking forward to trial.



by:

This ball has worked very well for use with our 2016 Honda CR-V. It added some extra height we needed and is quiet. Would definitely recommend.



by:

Great quality and price.



by:

Greatest difference is felt with a full trailer vs empty. For reference, I haul a 3700 horse trailer and with one or two horses on board, this makes a noticeable difference in the reduction of ‘jolts’ when road seams, potholes are encountered. No noticeable difference when empty, but I am rarely empty. Good value for outcome.

  • Will Brophy Ball Mount Work with a Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2-5/16" Hitch Ball
    Hey Jason, thanks for reaching out! Yes, the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch # BH20 will work with the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C29FR perfectly!

  • Will the Curt RockerBall Fit on the C45340 Ball Mount?
    As long as the Curt RockerBall has a 1 1/4 shank, like the # C29FR, you will have no issue installing it on the # C45340. With you using a ball that moves though, I highly suggest adding on the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061. This will keep the # C45340 completely stabile while in use.

  • Can Curt Rockerball be Used with Weight Distribution System
    I have a cushioned solution for your WD setup but you are correct the Curt Rockerball is not to be used with weight distribution systems according to Curt. The movement that the ball allows and the stresses of the WD system just don't allow the two to fit together and work. Instead you can use the cushioned weight distribution shank part # GY54FR for a 2 inch hitch which the head of your weight distribution system can attach to. There isn't any other option to cushion a weight distribution...

  • Will Curt Rockerball Fit on Weight Distribution Head?
    The Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1-1/4" Diameter Shank - Chrome - 12K # C29FR does not fit weight distribution heads because the base of the ball is meant to fit the rectangular platform. If you remove that part of the base it may work but it also could rotate so the shock absorbing may not work correctly.

    The height of the Curt RockerBall from the base that sits upon the ball mount to the top of the ball is as follows: - 2-5/16 inch ball with 1 inch diameter shank, # C82KR is 4.607 inches - 2-5/16 inch ball with 1-1/4 inch diameter shank, # C29FR is 4.712 inches - 2 inch ball with 1 inch diameter shank, # C40047 is 4.091 inches I've provided a diagram showing these dimensions.

  • Which Provides More Cushioning from Ball Mount Convert-A-Ball Vs Curt Rebellion XD
    The Convert a Ball ball mounts like the # AMSC4HD and the Curt Rebellion XD # part # C45949-2516 offer cushioning in a similar way (front to back cushioning) but the Curt Rebellion is going to offer superior cushioning to the Convert a Ball. The reason I say this is because most of the time your ball mount would not be free to move enough for the cushioning to be effective since the tongue weight of the trailer on the ball mount prevents movement where it would be needed. With the Rebellion...

  • Solution for Preventing Rattling Between Trailer Hitch Ball and Coupler
    We have the perfect solution for you with the Curt RockerBall, part # C29FR for 2-5/16" ball or # C40047 for a 2" ball. It completely changes your towing experience by reducing jerking and jarring while towing. It absorbs the movement and rattling of your trailer at the coupling point to provide a smoother ride and increased control over the vehicle and trailer. It also reduces the amount stress placed on your vehicle, receiver hitch, brakes and suspension system. Note: All RockerBall...

  • Can Curt RockerBall be Used with Weight Distribution
    Good question. I checked with Curt because I haven't had this come up yet but unfortunately no, the RockerBall, part # C29FR, cannot be used with a weight distribution system. Looking at your pictures I think you have a Blue Ox SwayPro system, like part # BXW0753. If I'm correct then you need a standard 2-5/16 inch ball with either a 1 or 1-1/4 inch shank. Beyond that the choice is yours so part # 63847 is a good option for a a 1 inch or part # 63840 for a 1-1/4 inch.

  • Is Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount Compatible With Curt RockerBall?
    The Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1-1/4" Diameter Shank # C29FR will not work with the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 10,000 lbs # AMSC2 which has a 1 inch diameter ball hole. Using the Polyurethane of the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount as well as a similar design in the ball may actually mitigate the shock absorption. One or the other would help but sometimes using two parts with the same thing will work against each other instead...

  • Can I Use the 2-5/16" Curt Rockerball with My Weight Distribution System?
    I have an answer for you. Unfortunately, we confirmed with Curt that the 2-5/16 Rockerball models # C29FR and # C82KR cannot be used with a weight distribution system. If you need a 2-5/16 inch ball, I recommend the Draw-Tite # 63847 if your weight distribution system requires a 1-inch diameter shank or the Draw-Tite # 63840 if your system requires a ball with a 1-1/4 inch diameter shank.

  • Can The Curt RockerBall Be Used On Trailers With Surge Or Electric Brakes
    Yes, the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C29FR is just a ball mount with a rubber base to absorb road shock for a more comfortable towing experience and would not have any compatibility issues with any braking systems or trailers without brakes.

  • How Wide of Ball Mount Platform Does Curt Rockerball Fit
    Hey Jason, a 3 inch wide ball mount platform is going to be too wide for the Curt Rockerball part # C29FR to fit. The max it can fit is 2-1/2 inches.

  • Shock Absorbing Hitch Ball with 1-1/4 Shank and 2-5/16 Ball for 2 Ball Mounts
    If the trailer requires a 2-5/16 ball, you don't want to use the 2" ball to pull the trailer. The 2-5/16 ball has a larger shank so it is not interchangeable with the Curt RockerBall Anti-Rattle Towing Kit - 2" Ball - 8-1/4" Long Mount - 7,500 lbs Item # C63KR I recommend Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1-1/4" Diameter Shank - Chrome - 12K Item # C29FR and Curt Solid Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 3" Rise, 4" Drop - 10" Long - 12K Item # C45313.
