<h3>About Convert-A-Ball</h3><p><strong>Convert-A-Ball</strong> has been at the forefront of American towing innovation since 1985, when founders Bob and Vera Van Vleet set out to transform Bob&apos;s inventions into real-world towing solutions. Operating out of Sidney, Nebraska, this family-owned and operated manufacturer has spent four decades refining a product lineup that sets the bar for strength, versatility, and ride quality in the aftermarket towing industry. Every Convert-A-Ball product is proudly made in the USA.</p><p>What truly distinguishes Convert-A-Ball from the competition is its pioneering approach to the hitch system. The brand is credited as the original inventor of the interchangeable hitch ball system &mdash; a concept that lets drivers swap between different ball sizes quickly, without removing the entire mount. Whether you&apos;re hauling a light travel trailer one weekend and a heavy horse trailer the next, Convert-A-Ball&apos;s system lets you adapt on the fly. Their <a href="/6652-convert-a-ball-trailer-hitch-1212">trailer hitches</a> are engineered to meet and exceed national SAE-J684-E standards for hitch balls, giving drivers confidence that every connection is built to last.</p><p>Perhaps the brand&apos;s most recognized innovation is its patented polyurethane cushioning system, incorporated into their lineup of <a href="/6652-convert-a-ball-ball-mountsreceivers-200129">ball mounts and receivers</a>. Rather than transmitting every bump and road imperfection directly into the tow vehicle&apos;s frame and drivetrain, the cushioned interior acts as a shock absorber, reducing the jarring &ldquo;bucking&rdquo; effect and rhythmic vibrations that are common when towing heavy loads. This design also helps protect the towing vehicle&apos;s driveline, hitch assembly, and trailer contents &mdash; a benefit that horse trailer operators, boat towers, and RV drivers alike have come to rely on.</p><p>The Convert-A-Ball cushioned ball mount range covers an impressive spectrum of drop and rise configurations &mdash; from 2&quot; all the way to 12&quot; drops &mdash; making them an ideal solution for lifted trucks, high-clearance 4x4s, and standard pickup applications alike. Multiple grades (Regular, Heavy Duty, and Super Duty) and both 2&quot; and 2-1/2&quot; receiver sizes ensure compatibility with virtually any tow vehicle on the road.</p><p>Security is another area where Convert-A-Ball delivers. Their <a href="/6652-convert-a-ball-trailer-hitch-lock-14537">trailer hitch locks</a> are designed to complement their ball mount systems, keeping accessories firmly and safely seated in the receiver while deterring theft. When combined with Convert-A-Ball&apos;s cushioned mounts, these locks round out a complete, integrated towing solution that prioritizes both performance and peace of mind.</p><p>From gooseneck adapters and 5th wheel adapters to pintle hook adapters and weight distribution systems, Convert-A-Ball&apos;s catalog addresses a wide range of towing scenarios with the same commitment to quality and American craftsmanship that has defined the brand since its founding.</p>
