Can Hitch Stabilizer be Used With Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount For 2" Hitch
Question:
Can this convert-a-ball hitch be used with a hitch stabilizer or does it need to be free to spring back and forth within the hitch?

Expert Reply:
Good question, and you can definitely still use a hitch stabilizer with the cushioned Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC6HD.
Even with a stabilizer there is still going to be some play in the hitch, so combining it with the cushioning of the Convert-A-Ball is going to be the best way overall to reduce any bounce or rattling, and I recommend going with the Brophy Stabilizer Clamp # RSCP.
You can secure the ball mount to your hitch with Hitch Lock # e98880 and for a hitch ball use either 2" Hitch Ball # A-90 or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40030.
