helps soften the ride from the trailer weight.

My usage of your hitch is a bit unusual, I think. I pull a two ton roller with my Ram and I've used your cushioned hitch to smooth out the process. The roller Lunette just dropped over a 2" ball and then banged and jerked on the ball neck. Check out the photos for my adaptation.. I can flip it over and use the 2" ball!
Have enclosed some photos.
The cushion is holding up very well and it takes a beating!!
Thanks

Absolutely Amazing product!!! I have an old steel box trailer with a solid axle (zero suspension) that is used every couple months to haul scrap metal. This thing would slam, bang and jerk at every road imperfection and I just lived with it due to little use and short distance traveled. Was tempted to try one of the $ hitches but just couldn't justify the cost. Thought this $ "shock absorbing" hitch was just a gimmick but etrailer has always treated me right and this is no exception. 100 percent better pulling experience and way cheaper than fabricating a suspension!!!

Bought the Convert-A-Ball Mount because I pull an Off Grid trailer for off road camping. I'm very impressed with how this hitch cushions the push and pull on the receiver, making it a very quite ride while pulling my trailer in rough rocky road conditions, with a lot less stress on the drive train too.

We have a Pink Tractor (google Mom's Pink Tractor) that we pull to events, mainly in Ks, Ok, Mo, and Ne. We have around 35 events a year we take the tractor to to promote breast cancer awareness.
The other day my wife and I were leaving for an event, i had let a friend borrow the hitch to see how he liked it. In less then a mile from the house my wife started complaining about the trailer jerking. That is coming from a lady that really was upset when I paid that much for a hitch. She told me to stop and buy one. (a long and expensive trip, we had to stop at a casino so she could rest her neck)
I could write a review with a lot of trailer talk, but, this story tells the story.

by: Timb05/10/2017
this is the second cushioned ball mount I have purchased. I haul a specialty trailer daily for work, stop & go, rough terrain first ball mount I used was just a cheap hollow one witch was turning the pin hole on the truck into an oval. Bought a cushioned ball mount and it lasted 4-6years of towing 3-5days/week before one of the pins holding the cushion in finally corroded in half. I'm sure the pin could have been replaced with some work to compress the rubber again but for the price and longevity of the product I just ordered new and keep on going.

Thanks for the feedback Timb. You are correct the Gen-Y Ball mounts are significantly more expensive than this one. They do offer a torsion style shock absorbing cushion to the ball mount, but do also offer many additional features when compared to this ball mount from Convert-A-Ball.
by: Grimlock07/15/2020
Bought this for my wife’s truck after owning one myself and is worth it! Takes the jar and shock out of pulling trailers( we mainly pull hay wagons and farm equipment). Highly recommend these cushioned hitches and fast service!

She loves the hitch. If someone borrows it she makes sure she gets it back! I own several now for several trucks.

Great hitch, the cushioning really reduces jarring and noise when towing my 18 foot bass boat
by: Ken12/09/2022
Replaceing one that I have had for 22 years. The shock absorbing feature is great for heavy trailers without brakes because it will absorb the initial shock of a trailer in a quick stop.
by: Tim 09/19/2022
I bought this cushion hitch to pull my 21 ft Winnebago Micro Minnie Winnie. It works like they say it would. Noticeable difference in how the trailer pulls back and forth during braking and rough roads. For my needs it is sufficient .
by: Sean 09/22/2022
Best product for the price! Love if for towing farm implements, prevents the hitch and truck from being slammed back and forth down the road.
by: Harvey 11/01/2022
This device is a great idea. I would highly recommend it for towing with smaller uni-body utility vehicles and small trucks because of their smaller drive components, but any vehicle will benefit. This is really nice with utility trailers that tend to bounce over potholes. I've used this product with a Jeep Wrangler and CJ7, Toyota RAV 4, Sienna and 4Runner as well as a Chevy Suburban.

Great service as Always !! We pull Wagon to and from fields on our farm .This hitch makes for smoother ride . Works great on our larger trailers too. Thanks again for the GREAT SERVICE.

I like it. I have a few thousand miles on it by now pulling a 2015 MINI on a uhaul auto transport trailer with a 2020 Tacoma and I think it helps keep a smooth ride. I’ve pulled with it from Phoenix to Seattle and back, and recently from Phoenix to Lewes Delaware. Before my first trip with the hitch I got into a lengthy debate over whether or not I had wasted my money on the entire concept of this hitch or not. The first time I pulled an empty trailer with it, I thought maybe I had fallen for a slick pitch because it wasn’t all too different than any other trip with a trailer bouncing around behind me. I pulled the trailer around my neighborhood on streets that I knew for a few laps around the block, then switched hitches back to my old solid one and did the same route and there was indeed a difference with this hitch. It won’t make the bumps and tugs disappear but it will noticeably mute them. Along all of my tows there have been stretches of road where I have thought to myself I’m glad I have this hitch and wonder how much worse the ride would have been without it. The trailer I use has surge braking and there was a concern that the horizontal movement of the hitch could trigger the brake but I haven’t noticed that to be an issue. I recommend the product but if you don’t buy this hitch, use etrailer for whatever you do buy. THE BEST service, fast shipping, great communication, I appreciate this site so much. Every internet shopping trip starts at etrailer, if they sell what I need I’ll buy it here. I want them to stay around for as long as possible, they remind me of what service and support from a business is supposed be and I’m happy to do what I can to keep them around. I’m glad I found etrailer, thanks!

This is the second cushioned ball mount I have ordered. Due to the different hitch heights on my vehicles, I needed a 2" drop on my new Nissan Frontier. So now I have a 2" and a 4" drop ball mount. These work great, they eliminate the harsh slamming and jerking you often get when stopping and taking off. They definitely smooth out the impact the trailer has on a vehicle, especially if the trailer is loaded with any weight. A good friend recommended the cushioned ball mount to me and I have not regretted buying it. I won't use anything else now on my vehicles.

Still working great. Gives a good smooth pull and soft stop. Only type ball mount to own.....

This is what we needed for hauling gravity boxes of corn and beans in the fall. No painful jerks of the load when taking off from a stop.
by: Mark D.05/20/2014
2007 Toyota Tundra 5.7L, 7X14 Parker flatbed tandem axle utility trailer 7700 lb capacity. I've only used it once since purchasing it, but compared to my previous non-cushioned ball mount it does an excellent job cushioning the load and keeps the trailer from banging the mount in the box and shaking the truck upon braking and acceleration. Very nice when hauling 2+ tons of cargo. Fast shipping from etrailer too.

Still going strong, no complaints. Ive used it about a dozen times now. Still love it.
by: A o12/18/2016
This hitch replaced a standard non cushioned hitch. which was great - when I only had a jetski to pull. as I've gotten older, my toys have gotten bigger.
The cushioned hitch reduces the shockload from start / stop with a heavier trailer attached. now, pulling a trailer is less of a head (and neck) ache.
we'll have to see how well the elastomers hold up - but for now, I would only recommend this type of hitch to my friends and family.

more than a year later, it still works great!
by: Christopher C.12/05/2017
I give this five stars for its functionality, quite stops and same for take off. However the shaft could be an inch or two longer for my FX 35. I cannot turn 180 degrees to use higher height without my trailer’s receiver hitting/rubbing the bumper. I would prefer height as trailer stand bottoms out on aprons. I could get an extension but that would defeat purpose of the shock absorber. My advice to potential buyers is to measure the distance from pin to ball to make sure there is enough clearance between ball the bumper. Wouldn’t be surprised if it just an issue with this vehicle model.

Christopher,Thank you for your review. The best option for your clearance issue is a longer ball mount. Hitch extenders reduce your tongue weight by 50 percent. I am not sure how much rise you need to be level with your trailer. The convert-a-ball, ball mount part # AMSC8 has a 6-3/4 inch rise and is 11-1/2 inches long from center of hitch pin hole to the center of ball hole. This ball mount also has the shock absorbent features.

These hitches are worth the extra money they cost
by: Joseph04/07/2022
This was just the right drop for my trailer and vehicle. I like the idea of the shock absorber to save my all-wheel drive. Worth the investment in my opinion.
by: Bruce Weidner09/01/2016
This hitch worked nicely. It really smoothed out the "shocks" & bumps of pulling my trailer. I will only buy a cushioned hitch from now on.

Super happy with this cushion ball mount- I pull loaded grain wagons with my truck and this hitch really takes the shock out of the starts and stops. eTrailer has always provided easy ordering, quick shipping and quality packaging, along with the best pricing available. Thanks, I will be back.

See what our Experts say about this Convert-A-Ball Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Difference Between Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount AMSC2 and AMSC2HDAccording to my Convert-a-ball representative, the # AMSC2 and # AMSC2HD both use the same cushion, so there won't be any difference in the cushioning ability of either ball mount. Since you have a trailer ball with a 1 inch diameter shank, I'd recommend using the # AMSC2 assuming that your grain wagon weighs less than 10,000 lbs when its loaded. The # AMSC2HD has a 1-1/4 inch diameter ball hole and a 14,000 lb capacity. If you click the provided links, you can see product demonstration...
view full answer... - Cushioned Ball Mount Recommendation with 1-1/4 inch Diameter Hitch Ball HoleSounds like you are looking for the part # AMSC2HD. This is the higher rated version of the part # AMSC2 which has a 14k capacity and a ball hole diameter of 1-1/4 inch.

view full answer... - Accounting for Tow Vehicle Sag when Choosing Ball MountChoosing a ball mount with the proper rise or drop is not an exact science. I typically recommend allowing for 1 to 2 inches for sag once the trailer is coupled. This figure can increase of decrease depending on the trailer tongue weight and the nature and condition of the tow vehicle suspension. Having the trailer coupler a bit on the high side of level is preferable to having it below level. In your case, having a late-model pickup truck as the tow vehicle that is towing a trailer with...
view full answer... - Can a Cushioned Ball Mount be Used with a Surge Brake Coupler on a TrailerYou can use the cushioned ball mount # AMSC2 with a surge brake coupler. But it sounds like the coupler may need to be surfaced. You should get relatively smooth operation from it. To test it you can uncouple from the tow vehicle and try to move the actuator in and out. If you can do it by hand then there is definitely something wrong, likely the shock. If you can move it using only a lever of some sort (like a 2x4) but it does not slide back on its own or does so very quickly then that...
view full answer... - Is Adding a Set Screw Needed to Prevent Hitch Ball Nut from Backing OffIf done properly it's probably safe, but realistically if you tighten the nut of the hitch ball to the recommended torque spec you wouldn't have to worry about the nut backing off. Or you could use some thread locker if you really wanted to be cautious.

To pick out the correct one you will need to measure the distance from the top of your hitch opening to the ground and then with your trailer sitting as level as possible measure from the bottom of the coupler to the ground. The difference between these two measurements will be what rise/drop ball mount you need. You will need to know what size ball you would need...

First, make sure both your Chevy and trailer are parked on level ground; you'll then want to measure from the ground to the top of your hitch receiver. Next, measure from the ground to the bottom of your coupler. If the height of your hitch is greater, you will need a ball mount with that amount of drop. If the height of the coupler is greater, you'll need a ball mount with that amount of rise....
view full answer... - Recommended Maintenance for Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC2Thank you for your purchases from etrailer back in 2010. I do see you ordered several trailering components such as brake assemblies, bearings and bearing protectors but I did not see the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC2 among them. In any case, my contact at Convert-A-Ball confirmed that you should NOT use a spray lubricant like WD-40 or PB Blaster since these products, while very good in certain applications, could contain compounds that are not friendly to the polyurethane...
view full answer... - Should Trailer Be Disconnected When Measuring Ball Mount HeightYou are correct, you will want to measure for the ball mount without the trailer in place because you will want to measure for the ball mount while the truck is at the natural suspension height. The tongue weight from the trailer and any load behind the rear axle in the vehicle may create sag. If this is the case you may want to look into a weight distribution system. If you determine you do need a weight distribution system for your truck and trailer just let me know your trailer tongue...
view full answer... - Choosing Correct Ball Mount Drop on 2011 Silverado for Towing 17 Foot 2000 Lb Bass BoatWe typically calculate the tongue weight of a trailer as between 10 and 15 percent of the weight of the trailer. A boat trailer is typically toward the lower end of that spectrum. The tongue weight of your boat and trailer should be between 200 and 250 lbs. Given this relatively low tongue weight with the sturdy rear suspension of your Silverado, I do not believe you will have much in the way of rear end sag with the trailer coupled. I would go ahead and use the method of calculating the...

I measured a distance of right at 2- 3/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the shank and 4" from center of hitch pin hole to closest edge of ball platform. I have included a video that shows these measurements as well. This sturdy steel ball mount is designed for 2 inch trailer hitch receivers and has a gross towing weight of 10,000 pounds. I have...
view full answer... - Loud Banging Noise Coming From the Hitch Area When AcceleratingAssuming that the hitch was properly installed, what you are experiencing is most likely your drawbar moving around in the receiver. This is a fairly common occurrence, the drawbar is meant to fit fairly snug into the receiver, but differences in manufacturing tolerances can allow for some movement. Using a cushioned ballmount like part # AMSC2 would help eliminate most of the noise you are experiencing. Cushioned Trailer Hitch Ballmounts protect the towing vehicle drive-line, hitch assembly...
view full answer... - Will a Convert-a-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount Fit with a Towtector Protection SystemMost of the Convert-a-Ball cushioned ball mounts like # AMSC2 have around 5 inches between the hitch pin hole and the closest edge of the platform. From my research a Towtector system requires 1-1/2 inches of space to be installed. So it depends on how the ball mounts will fit into your vehicle's receiver. But with those measurements you should be able to determine if it will fit.
view full answer... - Can the Bushing Inside the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mounts Be ReplacedThe bushing inside the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mounts like part # AMSC2 is not replaceable. Therefore, if the bushing is worn or damaged the entire ball mount will need to be replaced unfortunately.
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... - What is the Length of Ball Mount # AMSC2 from pin hole to center of ball holeThe measurement of the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC2 from center of (HITCH) pin hole to center of ball hole is 9-1/2 inches. I have included a link to a video review of Ball Mount # AMSC2 for you to see this measurement.
view full answer... - Ball Mount and Anti Rattle Lock Recommendation Similar to Boss Anti Rattle Ball MountThe Boss anti-rattle ball mount that you mentioned essentially is a ball mount with a hollow shank that has an anti-rattle device built into it. The ball mount appears to have a standard 2 inch drop like the part # AMSC2. So, what I would recommend is going with this ball mount # AMSC2 and then using an anti-rattle hitch lock like the part # 63232 which will give you exactly what you are looking for.
view full answer... - 3/4 inch Rise/2 inch Drop Ball Mount with 1 inch Diameter Ball HoleThe closest option we have is the part # AMSC2. This ball mount has a 3/4 inch rise, a 2 inch drop, a 1 inch diameter ball hole, and has a distance of 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball hole. For a 2-inch hitch ball we have the part # 63845 which will fit this ball mount.
view full answer... - How to Determine Correct Trailer Ball Height for Towing Small Fishing BoatTo determine the rise or drop needed, jack up the trailer so that the frame is level to the ground. Measure from the bottom of the coupler to the ground. Then, measure from the top of the receiver opening on the trailer hitch to the ground. The difference between these two measurements is the rise or drop needed. If the receiver height of the Tahoe is greater than the coupler height of the level trailer, you will need a ball mount with a drop. If the level trailer coupler height is greater...

- Should Ball Mount Shanks Get Greased Before Installing In Trailer HitchYou do not want to grease the shanks of ball mounts as the grease ends up attracting dirt which will wear on the hitch and ball mount as the two move around on/in each other.
