Can A Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount Be Used With A Curt RockerBall?
Question:
Are there any benefits of using a Curt RockerBall shock absorbing ball with this hitch, or do both of them do basically do the same thing?

Expert Reply:
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 hitch ball due to the shock absorbing base. I mention this as it will play into the amount of rise or drop you need to stay level while towing, so a pre-existing ball mount may not have the correct drop or rise. Due to this, between the two, I would go with the Convert-A-Ball # AMSC2.
