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!



by:

Needed a large drop hitch to pull my car trailer. This item came quickly and worked perfectly.



by:

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.

I added a hidden hitch and this is just what I needed.

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.

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.

Very nice ball mount. High weight rating and well made. In the US even!

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.

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.



by:

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:

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.



by:

Perfect for lifted trucks. This is the best hitch I have used to date. It has the perfect angle and design. When I come to a stop and then go, it does not slam metal to metal. There is some unique design that has a internal bumper inside of it. I tow a 7,000 lb ocean boat with this. It's paired to a 12,000 lb 2" ball, which I highly recommend. Several years I have used this without any issues. The paint is still holding up to the salt water that it is exposed to. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
etrailer.com has the best customer service and prices you can find.
BTW, I bought my brother the same hitch for his birthday and he loves it too.
Thank you Lindy at etrailer.com for helping me order the hitches.

  • Where is the 12 Inches of Drop Measured from on the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC12
    The 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.

  • Dimensions of the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount, # AMSC12
    I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Cushioned Ball Mount, # AMSC12, to measure. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the gusset at the back of the bar measures 4-1/4 inches. I have included a picture that I made that shows some measurements for you.

  • Does the Cushioning of the Convert a Ball # AMSC12 Allow Much Movement In and Out
    Sounds 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.

  • Is the Bushing of the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC12 Replaceable
    The bushing in the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC12 that you referenced is not available as a separate item to be replaced, but we have never heard of it wearing out and we have been selling this ball mount for a long time so I don't think you should worry about that.

  • Can Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount part # AMSC12 Handle 535 lb of Tongue Weight
    The 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.

  • How is Rise and Drop Measured on a Ball Mount Like Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC12
    We measure rise or drop from the top of the receiver tube to the top of the ball platform. I have included a link to an FAQ that should help. Also remember that the tongue weight of the trailer will cause the rear end of the vehicle to come down a little as well.

  • Safe to Install Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount Upside for Rise on F-150 Front Mounted Hitch
    The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC12 referenced in your question can be safely installed and used in an upright or upside-down position in order to provide the needed drop or rise. 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...

  • How to Pick Out the Right Rise/Drop Ball Mount for a 2010 Chevy Express Van
    I 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.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for an RV Where 12 inches of Drop are Needed to Tow Boat Trailer
    The 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...

  • How is Drop Measured and Determined on a Ball Mount
    The drop in a ball mount is measured from the top of the shank that inserts into the receiver tube to the top of the ball platform. See the video I've lined of ball mount # AMSC12. Around the 1:15 mark the drop measurement is demonstrated. To determine how much drop (Or rise) you need you'll want to have your tow vehicle and trailer on level ground and measure from the ground to the inside top of the receiver tube and from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler. Then find the...

    I attached an FAQ for you to check out that details all of this, but what you need to do is get your truck and your trailer on level ground and take a couple measurements.

Whatever the difference is the amount of rise/drop you need.

  • Ball Mount Replacement for 12 inch Drop and Trailer Sits 1 inch Too Low
    We 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.

  • Recommended Ball Mount with 9-1/2 inch Rise
    Between the two ball mount options referenced in your question, I recommend going with the Convert-A-Ball # AMSC12 that has the larger 10-3/4 inch rise. This is because when loading your tow vehicle up for a trip with your trailer, there is bound to be some rear sag that will lower the ball mount even further. Choosing a ball mount with a slightly higher rise than you need will help to account for this. Another option you may consider is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 80248 that has a 9-3/4...

  • Can Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC12 Be Used in the Rise Poistion
    The Convert-A-Ball # AMSC12 cushioned ball mount can indeed be used in the rise position, which would provide 10-3/4 inches of rise. Keep in mind this is an extreme rise. Usually, needing a rise that large would be a good indication that you really shouldn't tow that trailer with your vehicle, but because the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailers are so light, you won't have a problem. You'll also need a 2 inch diameter ball like part # 63845.

  • Height from Ground to Top of Hitch # 75270 When Installed On 2012 Odyssey
    When 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.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation that is 12 inches Long and 12 inches of Drop
    12 inches long or 12 inches of drop? For a 12 inch drop ball mount we have the # AMSC12 which also happens to have a distance of 12-1/2 inches from the center of the ball hole to the center of the pin hole. Then for a hitch ball you would want the part # C40007 for a 2-5/16 inch.

  • Fixed 2" Ball Mount w/ 10-3/4" Rise and 12" Drop
    Yes, 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.

  • Using Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount with Surge Breaks
    The Convert-A-Ball cushioned ball mount # AMSC12 is absolutely compatible with the surge breaks on your tow dolly. You may not even notice it the cushion interacting with your surge couple. The way cushion is designed is that the more pressure that is put on it the firmer it gets. The cushion itself is so dense that more force would be needed to compress that cushion than to actuate the surge coupler. Where this ball mount truly shines is when there's a lot of road shock that needs to be...

  • Will a Cushioned Ball Mount Work with Surge Trailer Brakes
    The 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: #...
