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.
by: Bob06/03/2013
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

I need this for my small trailer, just the perfect height.
Very satisfied with etrailer, shipping was great and fast

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: 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: 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.
by: Tracy & Vic07/21/2017
Solid welds and excellent quality construction. The only thing not perfect, but minor enough to not affect a 5-star rating, was the "clunking" noise of the cushion feature movement during speed changes in city traffic. Since we needed a ball mount with so much rise, we decided the cushion feature of this one would also help absorb some of the overall stress inherent to such a wide offset between vehicle and trailer. Although we're very happy with this product, if we'd known how well-made it was beforehand, we would have realized the cushion feature wasn't necessary. We believe it's more than capable of its load rating. Thanks, etrailer.

See what our Experts say about this Convert-A-Ball Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- 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...
view full answer... - How Thick is the Ball Mount Platform of Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount part # AMSC12The platform thickness of the Convert-A-Ball ball mount part # AMSC12 is 3/4 inch which will work great for you.
view full answer... - Is Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC12 Compatible With Hitch Lock # 1469DAT? Yes, the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC12 can be used with the Stainless Steel Trailer Hitch Lock # 1469DAT. The hitch pin is 5/8" in diameter to fit in your receiver with the ball mount.
view full answer... - Solutions for Towing Trailer With Very Low Ground Clearance Under Trailer BallWow, your truck must have quite a lift and the trailer coupler height must be super-low! 4 inches of ground clearance under the hitch ball isn't sufficient. There are things you can do with the suspension on the trailer to raise its height. 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...
view full answer... - Using Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount with Surge BreaksThe 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...
view full answer... - How Does a Lift Kit Affect Towing?A body lift does not affect towing since it's only the body of your vehicle that's being raised; the stock suspension and wheels remain at their original height. With that being said, from what I was able to research online, your 6 inch Pro Comp Lift Kit may actually be a suspension lift. As far as the actual towing weight capacity is concerned, I am not able to tell you if and how much your 6 inch lift would affect it. I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer (Pro Comp) since they...
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... - Recommended Ball Mount for 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander to Tow 2016 Scamp Trailer LevelFor the height off the ground we measure from the top inside of the receiver tube to the ground. 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... - 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.
view full answer... - Ball Mount Recommendation that is 12 inches Long and 12 inches of Drop12 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.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for 13 Inch Drop on a 2017 RamIf you are measuring from the inside top of the receiver to the bottom of your coupler then you have a 13 inch drop. I've attached an article to help, but have also included a photo for fast reference. That is a significant drop, so you can use one of the following: Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 12-1/2" Drop - 10K # 325-GH-316 Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 12-1/2" Drop - 16K # 325-GH-516 Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2" Hitch - 15" Drop...

- 12 inch Ball Mount NeededWe do have a variety of solid ball mounts that you can choose from which I have attached a link of our selection that you can filter through. If you are looking for a ball mount that either has a 12 inch Rise or 12 inch Drop then the best we have to offer is the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC12 which has a 10-3/4 inch Rise and a 12 inch Drop. It is not solid because it has a special shock absorbing feature to help reduce the effects of road shock and to limit bouncing...

- 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... - Ball Mount for with More than 11 Inches of Rise to Tow Trailer Level with 2012 Toyota SiennaWhat I recommend is to use Convert-A-Ball cushioned ball mount # AMSC12 and then add a high rise ball. The ball mount takes a ball with a 1 inch diameter shank. If the trailer coupler takes a 2 inch ball use high rise ball # C40034. If you need a 2-5/16 inch ball there isn't a high rise version that would fit so you would need to use a regular ball # 63847. If the coupler does take a 2 inch ball then # AMSC12 with # C40034 will provide you with approximately 12-3/4 inches rise and you...
view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount with 10 Inch Rise for a 2014 Honda OdysseyWith the hitch on your 2014 Honda Odyssey being recessed about 4 3/4 I suggest going with the Convert-A-Ball # AMSC12. This will have 10 3/4 inches of rise, 7,000 pounds of capacity, and will clear your bumper. As a side note, you do have about 2 inches up or down to still technically be level.
view full answer... - How to Pick Out the Correct Rise/Drop Ball Mount to Tow Trailer LevelI 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. You will need to measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer when it is sitting level, and then measure from the ground to the top of the hitch opening. Whatever the difference is the amount of rise/drop you need.

- Ball Mount with the Most Drop for a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer HitchI have not seen a 1-1/4 inch ball mount that offered 12 inches of drop. The most that we have is a 6 inch drop # C45028 (Class I or II) or # BM96 (Class I). If this is for a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee I recommend switching to a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch, # 13251, so you can use a ball mount with more drop such as # AMSC12.
view full answer... - 12 inch Drop Ball Mount Recommendation for Towing a Horse Trailer LevelIf you do need a ball mount with a 12 inch drop you would want the part # AMSC12. Before you purchase a ball mount I would recommend you check out the FAQ article I attached to the right that details how to pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount so that you order the correct one the first time.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount With 14 Drop For 2 Trailer Hitch ReceiverI have a different option for you, but there is not a version of the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC12 with a 14" drop. Instead the only option is the BulletProof hitches # HD2014 which offers up to 14" of drop and includes a 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls. The 2" hitch ball has a 12000lb towing capacity, and the 2-5/16" hitch ball has a 22000lb towing capacity. While this does not have the built in shock absorption as the Convert-A-Ball option, using a anti-rattle device # e99007 will keep...
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... - How to Determine the Amount of Drop Needed When Purchasing a Ball MountTo determine the amount of drop you need in a ball mount you need to have your trailer and tow vehicle on level ground and measure from the ground to the bottom of your coupler, and from the ground to the inside of the top of your hitch receiver. I've attached a couple of pictures to help show this. Since you measured from the bottom of each you're likely going to need more than 10 inches drop. You'll likely need around 12 inches or so like the Convert-A-Ball, part # AMSC12. If you...
