Note: All RockerBall hitch balls will sit 1-1/2" higher than a standard hitch ball due to their shock absorbing base.

Not to be used with a cushioned ball mount.


Towing can be brutal, especially when your setup is outfitted with standard, metal-on-metal components. Steel and aluminum can only absorb so much vibration and chucking, so every time you hit a bump in the road, that shock gets transferred to the rest of your rig, leaving it vulnerable to wear and tear. Another unfortunate side effect is an uncomfortable ride for you and your passengers.


Protect your truck and trailer from road shock, vibrations, and rattling - and stay comfortable while you drive - with the shock-absorbing Curt RockerBall hitch ball.


Shock Absorbing ShockDrop Technology

Curt RockerBall with SockDrop Technology

The RockerBall hitch ball features Curt's innovative ShockDrop technology, which is engineered to suppress vibrations and rattling while you're towing. When you hit a bump, the ball compresses around the flexible, polyurethane core. This durable material absorbs excess shock at the coupling point so that it doesn't transfer from the truck to your trailer or vice versa. The result is increased control and comfort as you tow, as well as less wear and tear on your towing setup.


Premium Construction

Curt RockerBall Construction

This hitch ball is built to last with its forged steel construction and durable powder coat finish. The flexible, shock-absorbing polyurethane core withstands extreme heat for long-lasting performance, and the chrome-plated ball resists corrosion.


Curt RockerBall Zerk Fitting

The built-in zerk allows you to lubricate the isolator core when necessary, ensuring quiet and trouble-free operation.

I was in the market.
Looking for some
kind of dampening hitch.
But all the hitches I found We're over $300. I stumbled upon the Curt rocker ball . It was interesting to me so I had looked up some reviews on it. There wasn't any good reviews on it, but there also wasn't any bad reviews either.
So I decided to give it a shot,
Since it was pretty Inexpensive. Since then, I've had it for a year and a 1/2 now And it's been amazing.something so simple,That works very well. You won't notice it as much if the trailer already tows very well But the trailers that do a lot of jerking You will feel the difference.
A night and day difference.to me it reduced it by By 80%. Very good product!

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball

  • Can Curt RockerBall Hitch Ball be Used When Flat Towing
    Sure, if you have a tow bar that attaches to a 2" hitch ball you can use the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C40047. The RockerBall will function the same as any other hitch ball for that purpose.

  • What if Grease Zerk Breaks Off Curt RockerBall
    The ball must be greased when using the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C40047. As you can see by the cut out of the linked instructions, if you don't have adequate lubrication the ball can fail so it is imperative you do. The zerk itself isn't replaceable, you need to to replace the RockerBall. Thankfully it sounds like it is new so the ball is under 1-year warranty.

    I have included a link to the installation instructions for the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C40047 below that will give you the correct torque specification. Be sure to follow the specifications listed in step 2 to ensure the ball is properly installed.

  • Can Curt Rebellion XD C45949-2 be Used With Curt RockerBall
    You wouldn't be able to use a RockerBall like # C40047 with a shock absorbing ball mount. Per the manufacturer, Curt, the RockerBall is not actually able to be used with any type of cushioned ball mount; for the RockerBall # C40047 you would need a standard fixed ball mount with a 1" ball hole diameter for the shank to fit. I have added a link below to our entire selection for you of those ball mounts.

  • Does The Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing Hitch Ball Have More Of A Rise Compared To A Standard Ball
    You are correct the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter Shank - Chrome - 7.5K part # C40047 does have a rise. On a standard hitch ball it sits flush with the ball mount but the RockerBall has the included height of the shock absorber which makes it about 1-1/2" taller than a standard ball. This is important when choosing a ball mount. You want to choose a ball mount that has an additional 2" of drop if your ball mount is in the drop position. For example if your...

  • Does Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2 Inch Hitch Ball Fit Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount
    Yes, the RockerBall and channel style ball mount you asked about are absolutely compatible: - Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C40047 - Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount # C45901 The reason is, the ball mount accepts a hitch ball with a shank that has a 1" diameter and is at least 2-1/8" long, which is exactly the shank dimensions of the RockerBall. I have added links to video reviews of both parts for you to check out as well.

  • Is 2" Curt Rocker Ball Compatible With Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount C45901
    Since your trailer has a 2" coupler you will need to use the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter Shank - Chrome - 7.5K # C40047. The # C40047 will work perfectly on the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount - 5-1/4" Rise, 6-3/4" Drop - 6,000 lbs # C45901. While the # C40047 has a 7500lb towing capacity, since the # C45901 has a maximum towing capacity of 6000lbs you will be limited to 6000lbs which is plenty since you are only planning on towing 3500-4000lbs.

  • Drop Ball Mount for Subaru with Rockerball that Needs 0 Rise/Drop
    Since your suspension would sag a little bit with the weight of your trailer I would go with a slightly higher ball mount around 1 inch drop in conjunction with a Rockerball part # C40047 and you'd be set. If you have a 1-1/4 inch hitch you'd want the part # 36051 or a 2 inch hitch # 2923.

  • Will Curt C40047 RockerBall Shock Absorbing Hitch Ball Eliminate Most Hitch Rattling
    Going with the # C40047 Curt Rocker Ball will help isolate some of the clattering and banging from the surge coupler, and it will also help dampen some of the road shock you experience. What it won't do is help with the movement of the ball mount in the receiver which is pretty unavoidable. Due to manufacturing tolerances, it isn't possible to get a tight fit between the ball mount and receiver, right out of the box. If the fit was too tight the ball mount would eventually become stuck...

  • Aluminum Ball Mount and Cushioned Hitch Ball for Use with 2021 Kia Telluride
    Two inches of rise would be the ideal amount based on the height differences you mentioned. When you can't get an exact number it's best to go a little taller since there would be some suspension sag from the tongue weight of the trailer. The rise/drop figure of a ball mount like the # DTBM4200 is factored with a standard hitch ball so you would not need to further calculate in a balls height as well unless you went with a taller ball. Now in the case of the Rockerball # C40047 this ball...

  • Can A Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount Be Used With A Curt RockerBall?
    Though the Convert-A-Ball # AMSC2 cushioned ball mount and the Curt RockerBall, like the # C40047, are very nice products and will help with chucking and vibrations, they cannot be used together. You are correct in that they will help with the same issues, but may actually end up causing more problems than counteracting them when used together. With that being said, either of these are great options, but it should be noted that the RockerBall hitch balls will sit 1-1/2" higher than a standard...

  • Will The Curt RockerBall Work With A Weight Distribution System?
    The Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C40047 and the Curt Ball Mount w/ Sway Control Tab for 2" Hitches # D320 you mention, will work great together. However, it should be noted that the Curt # C40047 will not work with a weight distribution system, due to the fact the flange that gets welded between the platform and the base that stops the unit from rotating, will not fit over the shank on a weight distribution system.

  • Should Hitch Ball Move Inside Coupler When Towing Trailer
    The Demco # DM12563 is not made to be adjusted, but what you're experiencing is normal. There should be room for play to allow for the normal movement of the trailer. If it was tight it would not be able to move and pivot as intended. If you want to limit the jerk you feel in your vehicle, you might want to consider the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C40047. This will help reduce the shock from rapid braking and acceleration. Just to make sure it is working properly,...

  • Is a New Ball Mount Needed To Use the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2 Hitch Ball
    The Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball part # C40047 will add 1-1/2" of height to the ball platform so you will then indeed need to get a ball mount that has more drop or can be adjusted to have more drop. I have attached a list of our options below if needed. The Convert-a-Ball Adjustable-Height Ball Mount part # TK5007 is a great adjustable option.

Whether it is pointless or not is dependent on what you are doing or experiencing right now. If you are getting/expecting a lot of bouncing, rattling, and vibration, then the combination will certainly help to reduce this. If you aren't, then it probably isn't necessary. Worst case scenario it isn't going to hurt anything, only help. My...

  • Does Curt RockerBall C94CR Have More Cushion Than Curt RockerBall C40047
    The 3,500 lb capacity Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C94CR (40246) does not have a softer cushion than the 7,500 lb RockerBall # C40047. The cushioning is the same and the difference between these two is the capacity, of course, as well as the shank size. The RockerBall # C94CR has a 3/4" diameter shank (so that's the size ball mount hole they fit) and the # C40047 has a 1" diameter shank. As for # C40047 and 40247, they are exactly the same.
