We purchased these 6 months ahead of the arrival of our new trailer with 2 Max Air fans. At the time, no one had the transparent/smoke ones in stock, so we wanted to get ahead of supply chain issues. etrailer had them, and we received them quickly.
Had the trailer dealer install them and two others on the new trailer, so they could do any caulk work if needed. These are fantastic, in that you almost can't tell they are on the fan. A bit of tint, but otherwise crystal clear, and we never worry about leaving the vent covers open while travelling, or in inclement weather. etrailer is our go to for as many of our RV supplies as we can get from them, instead of the "A" company. Great customer service, good prices, and speedy shipping.

Was hoping this would help with shock reduction. It doesn't. Has to fit loosely into hitch to function so it slams side to side and front to back. Would not recommend. Very disappointed in this purchase. Trailers service is exceptional. Easy to order. Arrived quickly, well packed.

Great Product, works well for pick-ups and semi's.

perfect. glad to have this product,

Super quick service. This is the second one I purchased, it was a gift. After I had the experience towing cross country with my jeep on a heavy 12K equipment trailer I couldn't believe how smooth this ball mount feels. No jerking over bumps or starting and stopping. Really a great part and worth the money. That's why I purchased another as a birthday gift for my son in law who has the same truck.
by: Mark01/12/2018
Have had for the last year and used this hauling a work trailer that is from 6 to 10k. Really like it, can definitely tell the difference when using a regular style one. I also have a smaller one with 2" ball for towing my jeep. I figure these are cheap insurance for saving your driveline from the added wear of a jaring stop and go motion.
by: Charles05/14/2017
This is the heavier duty version of cushioned hitch I am replacing. It's well made, fit and finish is excellent. I use it on a heavy duty Ford F-350 4x4 flat bed truck with a big V8 engine (460 c.i. or 7.5 liters). During the harvest season I pull two DMI 300 bu wagons tandem. A good quality cushioned hitch is a life savor with that much weight heaving back and forth going down the road. I highly recommend them they are well worth the extra $. Im sorry butbI don't have any pictures to share with you lol
by: lynn b05/12/2014
Item received. Installed easily. Shipping was very fast, but, packaging was less than adequate. Hitch had come loose inside of box and torn a hole during shipping. Wiring lost in transit, but, turns out I didn't need it anyway.
by: AlexV09/22/2016
Just put it in my 2006 Ram 2500, it's a bit of a loose fit. Not sure if that is the design but my concern was that it would rattle going over bumps. My receiver has not been used before so it's not worn at all, it is stock. I put one wrap of Gorilla tape around it to snug it up and to keep it from rattling around.
by: Tony L.10/22/2014
I really like the cushioned receiver and the ball and lock I ordered. The online process was great. The website had plenty of information and the entire transaction went smoothly. In addition the order was shipped that day and arrived ahead of my expectations.
Great Job!!
by: Phil T.06/02/2015
This product works exactly as described. Expect to have your trailer movement front to back smoothed with this. Our original ball tongue had a harsh feeling to the movement, this ball tongue softens that feeling. Of course, etrailer shipped the product very promptly and it arrived well packed. Every purchase with them has been flawless!
by: RT10/27/2018
Takes the bump away on starts & stops in traffic areas. Wouldn't use anything else.
by: Greg05/29/2019
This product is heavy duty and performs very well. It seemed a little pricey but I just finished an 1,100 mile trip using it and was very pleased. I have driven countless miles with a "normal" ball mount and there is no comparison. Buy it, use it, you won't regret it.
by: Pete01/31/2013
The hitch was just as described.It is always a pleasure doing business with e-trailer, quick shipping and very good packing.
by: Simon 05/07/2021
The thickness of the metal on the portion of the hole that faces away from the receiver is a little concerning. Not sure how long it will last.
by: R.C.03/13/2019
2nd purchase from etrailer. Fast, efficient service and delivery. Just delivered today so request for review was a little quick. Seems heavy duty, ball I order fit through the hole just right... The whole thing went together like peas and carrots!
by: Phil M.09/05/2015
A great product- this thing is solid and well made. I love the double powder coating. I only wish the video review would have mentioned the shank length for the ball. They reviewed everything but the length. Trailer has always provided excellent service and truly provides great products.
by: Joe08/08/2018
The equipment is quite impressive and beefed up to carry the published weight. Haven't used it on the truck yet, but am looking forward to that.
by: RH05/24/2013
Delivered on time and really works well cushioning the trailer from bucking the truck.
by: J06/06/2015
I own 2 of these now & they're awesome... Only way to go when pulling a trailer.

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... - Is it Okay to Use Cushioned Ball Mount with More Capacity than NeededIt really doesn't hurt to have a ball mount with more capacity than needed. If anything it's just added insurance that the ball mount wouldn't fail. For 14k capacity cushioned ball mounts we have the part # AMSC2HD which has a 2 inch drop, part # AMSC4HD which has a 4 inch drop and part # AMSC6HD which has a 6 inch drop.
view full answer... - 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. Your best option is to keep the hitch and ball mount as clean as possible.
view full answer... - Using Cushioned Ball Mount with Surge or Hydraulic Trailer BrakesYou can certainly use a cushioned ball mount like the Convert-A-Ball # AMSC2HD along with a trailer that is equipped with a surge or hydraulic brake coupler. The dampening action of the cushioned ball mount will not affect how efficiently the surge coupler compresses and actuates the trailer brakes, but it will lessen the jarring felt when the ballmount moves against the hitch pin. I have linked you to our Ball Mount FAQ which will walk you through the process of choosing a ball mount...
view full answer... - Are Cushions in Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mounts Rated for the Same Capacity as the Ball MountThe cushioned ball mount # AMSC2HD is given its rating based on extensive testing and the design of the components. That does include the cushions on the inside of the shank. So in other words if they tested it at 14K and the cushions failed they would not rate it for 14K. The ball mount meets Society of Automotive Engineers J684 specs. The cushion is going to provide more and more resistance the further or harder it is pushed against so it would not collapse or anything like that.
view full answer... - How to Pick Out Ball Mount for 2014 Toyota Sienna Towing Boat TrailerI wasn't able to find the coupler height of the trailer you are interested in so your best option would be to contact who you are buying it from and have them measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler lip with the trailer level. When we installed the Draw Tite # 76112 on a 2014 Toyota Sienna like yours we found that it measured 12 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch opening. If you compare that 12 inch figure to the coupler height you get for your trailer you'll be...
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... - Looking for Cushioned Ball Mount and 2-5/16 Inch Ball with 10,000 lb CapacityFor a cushioned ball mount and a 2-5/16 inch trailer ball that has a 10,000 lb weight capacity, I would recommend using the Convert-A-Ball # AMSC2HD Cushioned ball mount you mentioned along with the Curt # C40007. The ball has a 10K capacity, the ball mount has a 14K capacity. You did not mention the rise or drop you were looking for, I'll link you to our FAQ article that explains how to find out which rise or drop you're needing..
view full answer... - Shock Absorbing Ball Mount With 2-5/16" Ball The Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing part # C40047 only comes in a 2" ball at this time. You may consider using a ball mount like part # AMSC2HD that has a shock absorbing core with a 2-5/16" ball. The ball hole diameter is 1-1/4". If you need a ball with that size diameter shank I recommend part # 19286.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Ball for Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" HitchesThe ball platform on the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # AMSC2HD is slightly thicker than normal so you will want to use a hitch ball with an extended length shank. I recommend the 2" Hitch Ball part # A-90 or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball part # C40030.
view full answer... - Recommendation for a 14,000 Pound Ball Mount for a 2011 Ford F-350 DuallyThe closest ball mount we have to a 2 inch rise that is also rated for 14K is the Cushioned Ball Mount, # AMSC2HD. It has a rise of 1-1/2 inches and accepts a ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank. For a ball, you can use # 63836. Another option would be an adjustable ball mount, # C45900.
view full answer... - Ball Mount Recommendations for a 2012 Ford Expedition Towing a Pontoon Boat or Seadoo TrailerYou have a couple of options. First, you can buy two ball mounts, one with the correct rise for the pontoon boat and one for the Seadoo trailer. Or, you can get one ball mount that use a 2-1/2 inch rise, # AMSC2HD, and that would be fine for both trailers. If you wanted to go with separate ball mounts, for a 3 inch, use # 40331. You do not have to use that extra sway control bracket welded to it. Another option is to use an adjustable ball mount like # TK5007. It has a max rise of 9 inches...
view full answer... - Square Corner Ball Mounts Will Not Fit in Factory Trailer Hitch to 1993 Ford F-250 DieselWhat you are describing is a common problem with some factory hitches. You are correct, you do not want to grind away any of the metal of a ball mount to get it to fit. Removing some of the powder coat is acceptable provided you do not also remove any metal. What I recommend is looking for a ball mount with the more rounded corners. A ball mount like # BM20 has more rounded corners but it is rated for 10,000 pounds whereas the mount you referenced is rated for 16K. Cushioned ball mount...
view full answer... - Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 41945 Fit 2007 Ford Van With Step BumperThe Draw-Tite # 41945 you were looking at will indeed fit your 2007 Ford Van with the step bumper which you can see in the included video of this hitch being installed on similar van with the same step bumper. To complete your towing setup you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # C56020, and a ball mount # AMSC2HD, 2" hitch ball # A-90 or 2-5/16" hitch ball # 19286, and hitch pin and clip # PC3. I included a few videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Ball Mount With 1 Inch of RiseWith your measurements you will need a ball mount with 1-1/4 inch of rise, though you can be within a half-inch of that and we do have some good options. You said 2-5/16 inch receiver, so I assume you mean that's the hitch ball size your coupler takes, but I'm not sure if your have a 2 inch or 2-1/2 inch receiver on your 2004 Chevy Silverado so I'll list options for ball mounts for both. - 2 Inch Receiver: Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC2HD To mount to your hitch receiver it also requires...

For a made in the USA aluminum ball mount we only have adjustable units like the Flash Secure 2-Ball Mount # DTALBM6400-2S which includes stainless steel hitch balls as well. The Fulton # F97CR you found as well as the similar Curt # C74WR and Brophy # EA20 aluminum ball mounts are all made overseas. If you do not want an adjustable mount we do have the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC2HD which is made in the USA. While not being an aluminum ball mount it does have the benefit of a built...
view full answer... - Recommended Class V Hitch for 2006 GMC Sierra for Towing 10,800 lb BoatI'd recommend upgrading that hitch, ASAP. If the hitch fails while you're towing, causing an accident, your insurance company would be well within their rights to deny you coverage which would leave you wide open to all kinds of legal liability. Not a pretty situation. Usually, Class V hitches do indeed have a 2-1/2 inch receiver tube. However, companies like Curt Manufacturing, Draw-Tite and B&W have developed Class V hitches with a 2 inch receiver tube that are strong enough to be classified...

Instead, I recommend you use the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV - 2" # 41936 rated for 1,200 lbs tongue weight or 12,000 lbs towing. If you need a stronger receiver or one that can use weight distribution, I recommend the Draw Tite Class V # 41947 rated for 15,000 lbs towing without weight distribution or 16,000 lbs towing with...

To help reduce the play in your set up, I recommend part # RM-061. This anti rattle device once installed will help to stabilize what you have installed in your hitch.
