Not that many non-adjustable option for a 12” drop and this one is the best! Love the cushion and it’s very strong. I put that to the test today when I got rear ended with it in the back of my truck. This thing saved the back of my Ram. Came right back to etrailer and ordered a new one!

Needed a large drop hitch to pull my car trailer. This item came quickly and worked perfectly.
by: Russ 08/29/2022
This extreme rise ball mount is what I need to make my passenger car into a back-up trailer puller. It is well built and has a welded strut to reinforce the long rise/drop ball mount. The "shock damper" feature is sure to help absorb the leverage movement that a rise/drop ball mount passes on to the hitch receiver itself.

This is a ball hitch mount that is not a standard unit, problem I had I purchased a new p/u going from a 2500 series which stood higher to a 1500 series standing lower by 4" also lowering 3 1/2" towing a 4800 pound boat as we all know, needing to tow level, that wasn't going to happen, this ball mount did the trick, fits D.O.T. standards also more than what i needed for weight requirements

Ball mount achieved the goal for my height requirements, what I didnt explain the piston action in the ball mount, it does cushion the back and fourth while towing considerably if and when I will buy one with it, also you got it to me in two days great device l
by: Roger 12/30/2023
Needed this to replace the one that someone stole off my truck. My fault for not locking it for one night, in my driveway. Needed this to make the trailer ride level. Quick shipment along with the 2" Ball.
Great Company to order from
by: Charles 09/28/2023
Very well made hitch. I am extremely impressed with the quality of this hitch. I have another big drop hitch that i paid 10x what i paid for this and i really wish i had found this hitch before i spent all that money on the other one. This does exactly what's advertised and definitely helps a lot with absorbing shock and keeping the trailer tracking straight and comfortably behind you.
by: Derek Gooch08/15/2022
Looks good but haven’t towed with it yet. Price was a little higher after conversation and shipping but looks like a decent product. My truck is a dodge 3500 with a 6” long arm lift on 37” tires and this 12” looks like it will be perfect for my cargo and utility trailer’s. Other note it was a little loose in my 2” hitch so I added a receiver clamp to stop rattle.
by: Gregory05/02/2018
Exactly what I needed. This fits on my front receiver, which is hidden at the bottom of my grill. I needed the extended drop to keep the trailer level when manouvering. The hitch is of good quality. I’ve only used it at very low speeds. Works for me.
by: Rick08/04/2018
Wasn't sure this was what I needed but this hitch worked great. Seems to be well made. Truck has 40 inch tires and 11 inch lift and now i can pull camper and a small trailer without putting the smaller tires back on.
by: John Moore 10/16/2012
Great looking drop hitch and unbelievably fast shipping. Works great on my 2012 dodge diesel with 6" lift and 37" tires. The 10,000 lb. rating is the highest I could find with this much drop not to mention about half the cost of any other hitch I found. Customer service and shipping verification follow up is second to none. I'll be buying from them from now on.
by: David08/12/2018
The hitch appears to be made very well and heavy duty. I haven't had a chance to tow with it yet, but this was the only company I could find that carried a 12 inch drop down in stock. I had two other companies cancel my order because the 12 inch drop was no longer available through them. Excellent price also.
by: Kerry h06/08/2017
I am very happy with the 12 inch drop hitch i bought it was just the way it was described on the web site it will work perfect for pulling the car trailer to the races.
by: Jason - South Carolina04/17/2016
Perfect Fit!
07-12 Jeep Wrangler JK with 3.5" lift. This was the exact product to get the trailer back on level.
Great service and fast shipping.
by: Terry E.11/08/2011
Wow. Product shipped same day, regular ground, but arrived only 2 days later. Had the cushion feature on it that I hadn't even noticed or expected. My Toyota truck is lifted 6" with a Nissan Titan hitch custom welded on so this brought it down to the perfect height for me (14"). Great value too. Thanks!
by: Allen09/18/2015
I need this for my small trailer, just the perfect height.
Very satisfied with etrailer, shipping was great and fast
Their web page is very easy to navigate and place orders.
I will buy again from etrailer.

An empty box is probably not what you were expecting. I see that we sent you a new ball mount. When you have a chance I would love to know what you think of it.

I needed this 12 inch drop ball mount to accommodate my tow dolly on the back of my Winnebago motor home.
Once again, service through etrailer is always great.

Perfect fit for my Winnebago and my car tow dolly.
by: Jeff Hunt04/01/2017
Seems to be well built, I actually needed to raise my hitch to match a trailer that was built too high, this lined up my hitch just right.

Still working just fine.
by: Kevin B.10/11/2013
Awesome product. Built to last forever and it's not some cheap made steel. I would recommend to anyone.Havent pulled with it yet but it meets my expectations.
by: Cliff 10/22/2021
I purchased a 2020 GMC Yukon XL Denali which is about 9" taller than my 1988 Chevy Suburban was. The Convert-A-Ball Mount with a 12" Drop is the right amount of drop I needed so I could keep all 3 of my trailers (box, boat, and car trailers) level with the ground. The Convert-A-Ball Mount with a 12" Drop and a 7,000 lb load rating has been a very good product for me.

- Fixed 2" Ball Mount w/ 10-3/4" Rise and 12" DropYes, we do carry multiple hitches, ball mounts, that are similar to the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches item # AMSC12 you were looking at. The closest comparable product would be the Brophy Trailer Hitch Ball Mount 10" Drop, 7,500 lbs item # BM10. If you have some more specific requirements please email me back with them and I can make a better recommendation. I have linked our entire selection of fixed ball mounts below.
view full answer... - Is Using High Low Adapter Good Idea Instead of Large Rise/Drop Ball MountWhen you use a hitch adapter like the Roadmaster High Low Adapter RM-048-0 you end up cutting the capacity of the hitch it's installed in by half due to added leverage and movement. So this is not an ideal solution for anyone but when you are close to the vehicle's towing capacity it's not a viable option that's safe either. The ball mount we carry that has the most rise is the Convert a Ball # AMSC12 which has a rise of 10-3/4 inches. It can be confusing where exactly to measure to determine...
view full answer... - Where is the 12 Inches of Drop Measured from on the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC12The 12 inches of drop that the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC12 has is measured from the top of the ball mount shank down to the top of the ball platform. See the picture I attached. I attached a review video for you to check out also.

- Ball Mount Replacement for 12 inch Drop and Trailer Sits 1 inch Too LowWe have 12 inch drops and we have 14 inch drop ball mounts but we do not have a 13 inch. Going an inch lower would be better than an inch higher though. But you did say that the 12 inch drop put your trailer 1 inch lower than that your hitch so that would mean you would want an 11 inch drop instead like the part # 80248.

Then for a ball mount it sounds like you have an 8 inch rise which isn't quite tall enough. We have a couple of taller fixed mount options in the Draw-Tite Ball Mount - 9-3/4" Rise # 80248 and the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 10-3/4" Rise # AMSC12 but that still won't get you to the exact height needed. The Convert-A-Ball option will get you close enough to be safe but the trailer...
view full answer... - 12 Inch Drop Ball Mount Needed for 2015 GMC Yukon Denali w/ 2 Inch Hitch Receiver and 22 Inch WheelsThanks for including your measurements! Using Cushioned Ball Mount for 2 Inch Hitches, # AMSC12, will provide the 12 inch drop that is needed for your set-up. This ball mount has a 7,000 towing capacity and will require a hitch ball with a 1 inch diameter shank, # C40007 for 2-5/16 inch and # 40038 for 2 inch, Pin and Clip, # PC3 or # e98880 for lock. The added benefit of using a cushioned ball mount is the fact that the polyurethane interior acts as a shock absorber to reduce bounce...
view full answer... - Can Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount part # AMSC12 Handle 535 lb of Tongue WeightThe Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount part # AMSC12 that you referenced actually has a tongue weight capacity of 2,000 lbs so it would easily handle your tongue/hitch weight of 535 lbs.

To get the 10-3/4" rise from the 2 inch hitch receiver of your F-150, you will just flip the ball mount and install like normal using the hitch pin hole and hitch pin/clip. Keep in mind that the distance from the center of the pin hole on the ball mount shank to the nearest part of...
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for a 2014 Itasca Sun Star 35F Towing a RoadMaster Tow DollyThanks for sending us a picture! I haven't heard a county or state restricting the amount of drop for a ball mount when towing. I would recommend verifying this information with the local department of transportation office. If you find there is no restriction on drop, then I have what you will need. Based on your photo, it looks like the actually hitch height is 30-1/2 inches measured to the top of your receiver. The Roadmaster tow dolly # RM-2050-1 you referenced requires a ball height...

- Does Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2020 Tesla Model X Have Restriction on Rise or DropThere is not a restriction associated with a ball mount's rise or drop for the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76143 that fits your 2020 Tesla Model X. For a ball mount the one with the most rise we offer is the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 10-3/4" Rise, 12" Drop # AMSC12. For 1-7/8" or 2" hitch balls with this mount you'll need the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set # 901b; for a 2-5/16" hitch ball you'll need part # C40007. And for a hitch lock to secure the mount...
view full answer... - How to Pick Out the Correct Ball MountI attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will measure the coupler height from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is on level ground. Next, you will need to compute the difference. If the hitch height is...

However, these adapters cannot be used with a tow dolly per the manufacturer specifications. What you can do is use a ball mount with 12 inches of drop, # AMSC12. For a ball mount drop is measured from the top of the receiver opening down to the ball platform like in the FAQ I have included. With this ball mount...
view full answer... - Does the Cushioning of the Convert a Ball # AMSC12 Allow Much Movement In and OutSounds like you are asking how much movement the built in cushion of the Convert a Ball # AMSC12 allows when installed. It really doesn't move much at all. There would be a little bit of movement but for the most part it would not be sliding in and out of the hitch opening at all. The reason for this is that the tongue weight of the trailer pressed hard enough vertically on the ball mount that it pins the ball mount in the hitch.
view full answer... - Draw Bar Recommendation for a 2002 Ford Windstar LXThis Cushioned Ball Mount for 2 inch Hitches - 10-3/4 inch Rise - 12 inch Drop - 7,000 lbs, part # AMSC12 is cushioned in the rise and drop position for stopping and taking off. If you wanted something to make the fit of the draw bar in to your hitch more of a snug fit which would in turn prevent rattling noises. I would recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2 inch Trailer Hitches, part # RM-061. With that being said, in most situations on the 2002 Ford Windstar you would want to...
view full answer... - Can Hitch Extender be Used with Ball Mount to Clear Rear Bumper A hitch extension like the Curt # C45791 can be used to gain the bumper clearance needed for the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 80248 that you mentioned but there is an important thing to keep in mind when using this or any other adapter. When the adapter/extension is in place your trailer hitch capacity will be reduced by 50 percent. This just means if the hitch on your Odyssey has a 3,500 pound towing capacity and a 350 pound tongue weight capacity these limits will be reduced to 1,750 and 175...
view full answer... - Ball Mount Recommendation for an RV Where 12 inches of Drop are Needed to Tow Boat TrailerThe Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC12 that you referenced would be perfect for you all things considered. It has the drop you need (12 inches), the length you need (12-1/2 inches from pin hole to ball hole). This should not reduce the hitch capacity of your RV at all. Since your boat and trailer weigh considerably less than the capacity of the hitch you would not have to worry about that. If the weight of your boat and trailer were right at your hitch capacity it would be one thing, but you...
view full answer... - What Ball Mount Has Most RiseThe ball mount we offer that has the most rise is the part # AMSC12 which has a 10-3/4 inch rise. For a high low adapter (if that's what you were looking for) the option with the most is the part # RM-048-10 which has a 10-1/4 inch rise.
view full answer... - Can a Front-Mount Hitch and Adapter be Used to Push a Trailer Into Tight Spots?You certainly aren't alone having a bit of trouble backing up a long trailer. Using a front-mounted hitch is fine, but the Blue Ox adapter, # BX88132, is designed for flat-towing so it isn't going to work for you. What you can do instead is attach a fixed ball mount, and the Draw-Tite # 80248 is going to give you 9-3/4" of rise. Please keep in mind that the Draw-Tite has has a max gross towing weight (GTW) of 3,500 lbs and max tongue weight (TW) of 350 lbs in the rise position. If you...

The reason being that the adapter hangs down so low that in order to use the lowest receiver normally and keep the weight capacity of 10,000 lbs requires some extra stability.

- Height from Ground to Top of Hitch # 75270 When Installed On 2012 OdysseyWhen we installed the Draw Tite hitch part # 75270 on a 2012 Honda Odyssey we found it measured 11-1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch opening. That would mean you need a rise ball mount like the # AMSC12 which has a rise of 10-3/4 inches and is our highest rise option.

If the leaf springs are currently mounted to the underside of the axle, you can use an over/under conversion kits like # K71-384-00 for a 2-3/8 inch or # K71-385-00 for a 3 inch diameter axle beam, but you're only going to gain the diameter of the...
