Question:
How would you compare the shank lengths on ball options Draw-Tite 63836 vs Curt C40030 for use in combination with Convert-a-ball Cushioned Hitch AMSC4HD?
asked by: Ben C
Helpful Expert Reply:
Both the Draw-Tite item # 63836 and the Curt item # C40030 will work with the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount item # AMSC4HD. The 1/8" difference in shank length will not affect the function of the hitch ball. I recommend the Curt item # C40030 because it has a slightly higher capacity and it will save you some money.
