CURT RockerBall Starter Kit - 3 Drop [45143]

The CURT RockerBall™ Starter Kit with a 3' drop is a game - changer for towing. It uses our unique ShockDrop™ technology, which significantly enhances comfort and control while you're on the road. The integrated cushion isolator transforms a standard ball mount into a cushion hitch that also prevents rattling. When you tow with this RockerBall™ ball mount kit, it acts as a shock - absorber. It cuts down on the jerking and jarring caused by bumps and potholes. Normally, these road imperfections create vibrations, jolts, and noise that get transferred to your tow vehicle, making your ride rough and taking a toll on your towing system. But the RockerBall™ absorbs all that erratic movement and rattling at the coupling point. This gives you a smoother ride, better control over your vehicle and trailer, and reduces stress on your vehicle, receiver hitch, brakes, and suspension. Compared to other torsion and cushion hitches, the RockerBall™ is super low - maintenance. There are no airbags or bearings to service. Just grease the integrated zerk fitting as needed for smooth operation. This kit comes with a 3' drop standard ball mount and a 2' shank that fits most class 3, 4, and 5 receiver hitches. It also includes an anti - rattle shim kit for top - notch vibration resistance. The CURT RockerBall™ hitch ball is made of forged steel for great strength. The base and ball mount have a durable powder - coat finish, and the ball is chrome - plated for long - lasting weather protection. Key features include a dynamic trailer ball with ShockDrop technology, smooth towing by dampening bumps, reduced rattling and vibration for comfort, shock load reduction during braking or acceleration, less stress on suspension and brakes, fitting 2' x 2' receiver tube openings, being almost maintenance - free, easy lubrication with grease zerk fittings, 3' drop for perfect trailer leveling, a strong forged steel ball, a durable black powder - coat finish with chrome - plated ball, a standard 2' ball diameter for 2' couplers, a 7,500 lbs GTW and 750 lbs TW rating, and meeting SAE J684 safety specifications.

Using the CURT RockerBall Starter Kit is a breeze. First, make sure your receiver hitch is class 3, 4, or 5 with a 2' x 2' receiver tube opening. Insert the 2' shank of the ball mount into the receiver hitch. You can use the anti - rattle shim kit to reduce vibrations. Once it's securely in place, you're ready to attach your trailer. As you drive, the RockerBall will absorb the shocks from bumps and potholes, giving you a smoother ride. For maintenance, you don't have to worry about airbags or bearings. Just check the integrated zerk fitting regularly. When it seems dry, apply some grease to keep everything running smoothly. Also, remember that the hitch ball has a 7,500 lbs GTW and 750 lbs TW rating. Don't exceed these limits to ensure safety. The ball is chrome - plated and the base and ball mount have a black powder - coat finish. While they're weather - resistant, it's still a good idea to wash the kit after use, especially if you've been in a dirty or salty environment. This will help maintain its appearance and longevity. And since it has a limited lifetime warranty (one - year finish, one - year parts), keep your purchase receipt in case you need to make a claim.
