Convert-A-Ball

<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>

Product Details

The Convert-A-Ball C5G1216 is an adjustable 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter that allows gooseneck hitch owners to tow 5th wheel trailers with ease. Manufactured in the USA, this adapter bridges the gap between gooseneck ball setups and standard 5th wheel king pin boxes, offering a versatile and heavy-duty towing solution.

Key Features:

  • Adjustable Height: Fully adjustable from 12" to 16" — measured from the top of the gooseneck ball to the kingpin plate — to accommodate a wide range of trailer configurations
  • 360° Cushioning: Features two internal polyurethane cushions for full 360-degree shock absorption, reducing bounce and vibration for a smoother ride
  • 20,000 lb. Gross Towing Weight (GTW) Capacity with a 4,000 lb. tongue weight rating
  • Compatible with 2-5/16" gooseneck hitch balls
  • Safety Chains Included for added security during towing
  • Lockable Coupler: Coupler locks with a padlock for theft deterrence and secure attachment
  • Durable Alloy Steel Construction for long-lasting performance under tough towing conditions
  • Made in the USA by Convert-A-Ball Distributing Inc.

The C5G1216 is the ideal solution for truck owners who already have a gooseneck hitch setup and want the flexibility to tow 5th wheel trailers without purchasing a separate hitch system.

The turbo (s475sx-e) has been my best purchase this year. The order was placed at the end of the workday and Thmotorsports shipped it the very next morning, also the box arrived in magnificent condition, the turbo was picture perfect without a blemish. Thmotorsports was the most affordable out of all ten sites that were considered, with top notch shipping. I have to say Thmotorsports was the best choice for my genuine part.

I ordered the products, the products were delivered, and I was satisfied. A good transaction.

Very easy to order from your site,it was my bad that I had only purchased one rotor on Sunday and wished that I was prompted "do you need just one" and not two rotors? But it was my mistake. Bob Rowean.

Awesome experience! Would definitely do business with you guys again

Very quick turnaround with best online price. Would highly recommend!

Fast, fast, fast. No issues. No worries.

Delivery was later than expected

My product came on time and in excellent condition. I couldn't have asked for more.
