Today on our 2006 Ford F150, we'll be test fitting the convertible cushion ball
mount for 2-inch hitches with a 6-3/4-inch rise or 8-inch drop rated at 10,000 pounds,
part number AMSC8. Before we begin our test fit, we will first obtain the hitch height
of our vehicle. This is the measurement from the ground to the inside top of the receiver
tube. The hitch height measurement for this vehicle is about 19-1/4 inches. Keep in mind
this measurement may vary due to tire size, hitch style, or other after market accessories.
We'll now begin our test fit in the drop position by sliding the shank of the ball
mount into the opening of the hitch and securing it with a pin and clip. We can then measure
from the ground to the top of the ball platform getting a measurement of about 10-3/4 inches.
If your vehicle's hitch height matches ours and your trailer's ride height matches
this measurement, this should be an appropriate ball mount for you. We can then flip the ball
mount over into the rise position, repeat the same process.
