Specs:
This adjustable ball mount has a maximum capacity of 14,000 lbs, making it ideal for heavy-duty towing. The steel construction is strong enough to handle large trailers and heavy cargo, and the matte powder coat finish will protect the ball mount from rust and corrosion, even after repeated use. The BulletProof Hitches adjustable ball mount gives you the strength you need to tow your big loads. And its durable, long-lasting construction can stand the test of time.
Because of its sturdy steel construction, this BulletProof Hitches adjustable ball mount can handle loads up to 14,000 lbs, making it perfect for heavy-duty towing jobs.
The adjustable channel is made of 5/16" thick, laser-cut steel plates. These steel plates can handle high capacities without bending. And because of the laser cutting, the channel plates have consistently sized pin holes, so you can easily remove or reposition the hitch ball platform.
A 1/2" thick steel gusset is welded between the shank and the channel, bracing the mount and keeping the channel from bending, even at the maximum drop or rise.
The steel shank easily slides into and out of your hitch receiver. And with no sharp edges on the shank, the powder coating is less likely to chip and peel.
Each adjustable mount includes a 2-ball platform, which fits in the adjustable channel. The 2 hitch balls are welded onto the solid steel platform for maximum strength and stability.
Finally, the pins and clips included with the ball mount are made of heat-treated steel to withstand the heavy weight from your load. And the zinc finish provides corrosion resistance.
<>To set up this BulletProof Hitches adjustable ball mount, insert the 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" shank into your hitch's receiver. Slide the 2-ball platform into the adjustable channel, then use the included pins and clips to secure the platform at the height you need. If you need to switch hitch balls, just remove the pins and clips, flip the ball platform over, and reinsert the pins and clips to secure the balls in place. It's that easy.
This BulletProof Hitches adjustable ball mount is compatible with a wide variety of accessories (sold separately). Instead of using the included ball to tow, you can install a weight distribution shank (358WEIGHTDIST) in the channel of the mount to attach your weight distribution system. Add a clevis (358CLEVIS) or shackle attachment (358EDSA) for off-road or recovery operations. Or simply add a hitch step (358STEP) to easily access your truck bed.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a look at this BulletProof Hitches adjustable two-ball mount for 2 1/2 inch hitch receivers. This adjustable ball mount has a maximum capacity of 14,000 pounds, making it ideal for heavy-duty towing. This shank will slide into your 2 1/2 inch hitch receiver on your vehicle. And this is ideal for vehicles with 19 inches to 21 inches of clearance from the ground to the bottom of the inside of your receiver tube.
Now, the adjustable height lets you tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle. And this hitch ball platform is going to slide easily up or down the channel and it's going to secure in place with the included pins and clips. This adjustable channel is made of 5/16 of an inch thick laser cut steel plates. And these steel plates can handle high capacities without bending. And because of the laser cutting, these channel plates have consistently sized pin holes.
So, you can easily remove and reposition the hitch ball platform. And I just wanna show you quickly how easy it is to reposition this ball platform in this channel. So, I've just removed my clips and I'm just going to lay this down here a little bit so it's a little more stable. And then removing the pins are very easy. You're not gonna be struggling with removing these pins because of those laser cut pin holes.
I have this set on the 2 5/16 inch ball. I'm gonna go ahead and switch this to our two-inch ball, and just lower this here a little bit. And again, you can see just how easily these pins are to slide in and slide out. You might be familiar with some other manufacturers where sometimes the pins can be very difficult to run through the pin holes. And sometimes it requires a breaking in period to make it a little bit easier to run those pins through.
That's not the case with BulletProof Hitches adjustable ball mounts. They're gonna be very easy to replace and remove right out of the box. So, you're not gonna be struggling with adjusting this on the back of your vehicle. Speaking of these pins and clips, they are made of heat treated steel to withstand the heavy weight from your load. And that zinc finish is gonna provide corrosion resistance. Now, as you see, we do have six adjustment holes that's gonna provide five mounting positions, providing a maximum drop of about 8 1/4 inches. And when you flip this over, a maximum rise of about 8 1/2 inches. The adjustment hole diameter is 5/8 of an inch. And you can tow up to 10,000 pounds with a two-inch ball or up to 14,000 pounds with the 2 5/16 inch ball. The maximum tongue weight capacity is 2,000 pounds. And as you can see, these hitch balls are welded directly to the ball platform, giving you that extra sturdiness. So again, this is designed and built with heavy-duty towing in mind and this is going to help you do just that. This is made in the USA of heavy-duty steel construction that's strong enough to handle large trailers and heavy cargo. Another feature that I really like about BulletProof Hitches adjustable ball mounts is the matte black, textured powder coat finish. It looks great. I think it's gonna look attractive on the back of your vehicle but it also is going to protect this ball mount from rust and corrosion. Even after repeated use, it feels like it's been applied thick on this ball mount. So, I don't think this is going to easily peel or chip away. And the steel shank is going to easily slide in and out of your hitch receiver. There are no sharp edges on the shank. So again, that matte powder coating is less likely to chip and peel. The hitch pin hole diameter is 5/8 of an inch. I do wanna mention that a pin and clip or a hitch lock is not included with this. So, if you do not already have a compatible pin and clip, that would be something that you would have to pick up as a separate purchase. However, you are making an investment when purchasing one of these adjustable ball mounts. So, I would definitely recommend taking a look at our hitch lock options here at etrailer.com to secure your investment to the back of your vehicle. Now, this also features a half inch thick steel gusset that is welded between the shank and the channel. What that is going to do is that's going to brace the mount and keep the channel from bending even at maximum drop or rise. And this adjustable ball mount is compatible with a wide variety of accessories that are sold separately. So for instance, instead of using the included ball to tow, you can install a weight distribution shank in the channel of the mount to attach your weight distribution system, or you could add a clevis or a shackle attachment for off-road or recovery operations, or simply add a hitch step to easily access your truck bed. Check out the related products section of this product page for those available options. Speaking of this product page, we do have a detailed diagram of all the other important measurements that I did not cover with you today. So again, you can find those measurements on this product page and that's gonna help you determine if this is going to fit your specific application. This weighs about 29 pounds. And this is SAE J684 certified. And it does have a limited lifetime warranty. One final thing I would like to mention is BulletProof Hitches adjustable ball mounts are rigorously tested for heavy-duty applications. These ball mounts are used and trusted by various United States Government organizations, such as the Department of Transportation, the Department of Homeland Security, and all branches of the United States Military. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

The thick channel plates and welded gusset on this steel ball mount make it perfect for heavy-duty use. Tow up to 10K with the 2" ball or 14K with the 2-5/16" ball. Adjustable design lets you tow trailers of various heights.Awesome product and great price. This Bulletproof hitch is definitely well built. I see no problems ahead with this hitch.
I own several adjustable 2-1/2" hitches and like this one a lot. It isn't terribly heavy for being steel and is very easy to adjust. I like the pins versus the key-operated mechanism on my aluminum adjustable hitch. Works great with my Chevy 2500 and various trailers and boats from 5000 to 14000 lbs.
The bulletproof hitch is a really good unit. I have used it now for over two months to pull a sixteen foot cargo trailer using the larger ball. Towed locally and from northern NY to Florida and back, so I'd say at least 5,000 miles. I like the easy to adjust height in order to tow the trailer level. It doesn't seem to cause any clunking because of movement - if that makes sense. I did clear-coat the unit to help it stay looking decent for the long-term and that seems to be working so far. The main piece stays locked in the truck receiver all the time while I remove the double-ball unit when not in use. I would buy this unit again in a heartbeat.
Build quality is obvious on this absolute unit of a drop hitch. Solidly built and looks great, exceeding my expectations for the towing I do.
I really love my hitch. Just the weight of it is impressive, it is a substantial hitch and has not let me down at all. I leave it on the truck all the time even when not needed for towing just in case someone isn't paying attention, cause it is also a great rear end collision extra "bumper".
It's heavy! Easy to use and durable, no complaints here.
Made in USA. Heavy Duty Build. I just wish the tolerances were tighter, like on the height adjustment pins, they are loose which makes a lot of thumping, They do not need to be that sloppy. I will say, this hitch is holding up well. The Ball fell off the "Fastway Flash" hitch I had before, where the ball broke out of the casting.
And, this hitch is not nearly heavy as the "Fastway Flash" hitch.
Fits perfectly on 21 Ford F-250 Tremor. Still plenty of clearance and low enough for any trailer coupler. Using with the WDH adapter
Solidly built! Great product! Made in the USA.
I’m glad I have diesel just to pull this hitch. This is what I call well built and sturdy. Nothing flimsy or cheap about it. Solid and I have complete confidence regardless of what I’m pulling with it. Great product and American made quality.
Well packaged and made of high quality materials.
Great product heavy duty
Does everything as advertised
Still functioning and looking as excellent as it did the day it arrived. Well built hitch, truly fits my needs.
I need a solution for my BMW SUV to tow my boat and trailer with two ball sizes and very different height requirements. This worked perfectly. The name Bulletproof fits well - I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and engineering.

My Opinion Hasnt Changed, the hitch is Great! Main use now is a center console and a pontoon boat. Both boats are twenty footers. The hitch is over-kill for the load, but the variable height capability of the hitch allows for easier launches at the ramp. We use different ramps and each ramp has a different angle into the water.
