Specs:
This adjustable ball mount has a maximum capacity of 22,000 lbs, making it ideal for heavy-duty towing. The solid 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 22,000 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 solid steel shank is CNC -chamfered, making it easy to slide the shank 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. The nickel undercoat with zinc topcoat provides corrosion resistance and ensures the strength of the pin.
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.
Because of this mount's significant drop, it's recommended that you install a stabilizer kit (358stabilizerbars - sold separately) to prevent any wobbling and to remove strain from your hitch receiver.
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.

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the BulletProof Hitches heavy-duty, adjustable two-ball mount for a 2 1/2 inch hitch with a drop and a rise, and has a 22,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this two-ball mount will slide into your 2 1/2 inch hitch receiver and it'll let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The hitch balls up here will provide the connection point for your trailer coupler. If you notice, it is a two-ball mount, so you got two different size hitch balls to choose from.
You have the larger 2 5/16 diameter or the smaller two-inch diameter. This will let you tow trailers with different coupler sizes. And to switch the ball to a different one, you can, it's pretty easy to do. You just remove these two pins right here. Pull out the clips, remove the pins, flip the ball platform to the ball size you need, reinsert the pins, put the clips in, and you're all ready to go.
Just to show you how we'd do that, go ahead and pull this clip and pull that clip. And we'll go ahead and pull out the bottom pin. Also, wanna mention these pins here, that gives you two of these 5/8 inch diameter, corrosion resistant, hardened steel pins. They do feature a nickel undercoat with an nice zinc-plated top coat for best corrosion resistance. Go ahead and take out the other one.
And then you can see the ball mount will be released. You just take it out, rotate it, go ahead and put it back in. And again, you have a range of height you wanna put it at. I'm just gonna put it back in the same where it was. Put our pin through up, down there, put it up here.
And then once you get it all clipped, clip the pins in to make sure they stay in there. And just like that, you're ready to use the smaller two-inch ball. So, it's pretty fast and easy to flip it to whatever ball size you need. Now, the adjustable design on this provides a nice drop or a rise, allows you to tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle. So, this will work well for contractors where they can install it on one truck and use that truck for different size trailers. Now, this is in the drop position. If you install this in your hitch receiver, this would be the drop position. Now, if you put this ball mount in the lowest position, it'll get you a maximum drop of about 15 1/4 inches. If you flip this over and put it in the rise position and then put the ball platform in the highest position, it would get you a maximum rise of about 15 inches. So, it does give you eight levels of adjustment. The measurement between adjustment holes, center to center is two inches. So basically, you can move this ball platform up or down to match your application. This is a heavy-duty steel construction. It is precision CNC milled and drilled. So, it gives you less rattle cause of the close tolerances. The channel right here, it's a 5/16 thick channel frame, which is very strong and durable. Back here, you can see this large, half-inch thick welded gusset plate. This'll brace the shank and the channel. And then the hitch balls are welded to the ball platform for extra sturdiness. So, because of the solid shank, the gusset plate, that solid dual-ball platform, this is built for heavy-duty towing. We mentioned that steel gusset, you can see it's welded between the shank and the channel. And it braces the mount, keeps the channel from bending even at maximum drop or rise. Total weight on this whole ball mount is about 56 pounds. Now, one measurement I do wanna give you cause this gusset in here, you might have to check your clearances. But the measurement from this gusset right here to the first hitch pin hole is about 3 1/2 inches. From the gusset to the second hitch pin hole is about five inches. Now, this ball mount does have many different dimensions. So, what I do recommend for you to do is go to the product page of this part number and we'll have a picture of this with all the dimensions on it, so you can verify any dimension that might be needed for your application. This part is made in the USA with USA steel. So, the product is also used by the US Military. So, it gives you peace of mind that the product uses quality materials. This hitch comes with a nice powder coat, textured, heavy-duty black finish. And this heavy-duty finish keeps your ball mount looking like new instead of all worn and rusty after a short time. Now, when you do install this into your hitch receiver, you do need a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock to secure it to the hitch receiver. Those items are not included. We do sell those separately on our website. Application, again, this fits a 2 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver. This one with the large drop or rise is ideal for vehicles with 31 inch to 33 inch clearance from the ground to the bottom of the receiver tube. Gross towing weight capacity depends on the ball you use. If you use the smaller two inch ball, it's 12,000 pounds. You use the larger 2 5/16 diameter ball, it's 22,000 pounds. Tongue weight capacity will be 3,000 pounds. Last thing I wanna mention, there is a variety of channel mount attachments that are available for this ball mount to allow you to use this ball mount as a pintle hitch, shackle hitch, even a hitch step. All those parts are listed on this product page as related products. But that should do it for the review on the BulletProof Hitches heavy-duty, adjustable two-ball mount for 2 1/2 inch hitch with a drop and a rise, and a 22,000 pound gross towing weight capacity..

The thick channel plates and welded gusset on this solid steel ball mount make it perfect for heavy-duty use. Tow up to 12K with the 2" ball or 22K with the 2-5/16" ball. Adjustable design lets you tow trailers of various heights.
Awesome product. Wish I knew how to measure what size I needed before I bought it though, I think I may have bought too big of a drop. I have a Ram 2500 w/3" lift and 35" tires. Thought this was right, but, its a little low and I have to be careful pulling out of parking lots and low points.
BEEFY describes this hitch! Looks great on our 10"lifted Ford F350. Feels sturdy and secure.
Very high quality hitch. Perfect for my RV towing my car hauler which sits pretty low to be level. Order came in fast. Only hiccup was UPS was too lazy to bring to front door (like all other packages). It is fairly heavy. Otherwise totally satisfied with the hitch and the service from etrailer!
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.
I am totally shocked by the weight and quality of the product. Not even one scratch on the finish. It shipped from Illinois to Dallas in only 3 days for free. Now I know why they are called BulletProof. Perfect for my lifted truck. I wished I had gotten this a long time ago!
I bought this hitch just under one year. To date, the hitch has performed fine. HOWEVER, the cheap powder coating has turned the entire hitch into a an eyesore. Its just rusting like mad, and the powder coat is now flaking in large chunks. Looks like crap on the back of the truck. I don't even live in an area where salt accumulates or they use it on the roadway.
Awesome product and great price. This Bulletproof hitch is definitely well built. I see no problems ahead with this hitch.
Sent me the wrong hitch. Ordered the 6” drop, received the 4” drop. Hitch itself is ok, powder coating wore off ball and where it goes into receiver on first use.
Fast delivery, well packed, and the hitch is bad a**, heavy duty quality and very versatile. If your looking for an adjustable hitch this is what you want!!!
Alex was great to work with. When I called he took the time to understand what I needed and help to find a solution. This was not the first time I have purchased from eTrailer nor will it be the last.
Beyond expectations. People come by complimenting on my hitch and asking where I bought it. I did not realize other hitches break. Well, this one won't break
Overall appearance is fantastic. Very heavy and appears to be indestructible. We will see how it holds up over time.
Well packaged, fast shipping, it's going to give me the adjustability I need on my hitch and maintain the hitch towing capacity.
Extremely noisy. Powder coat peeled almost immediately and the tolerances on the pins makes this rattle horribly. I finally got so sick of the noise I cut foam to put between the ball mount and receiver. This hitch has not seen much use and only for light duty (under 10k lbs). I won't buy another one. All of the other hitches we have are Andersen Rapid Hitch. I tried this after all the claims by BulletProof on how great they are. Very disappointed
My first and ongoing impression with your company: Friendly, competent people providing quality services. The hitch is everything I hoped it'd be, and should provide years of dependable service. Thanks again! I will use your outfit again without hesitation and tell others the same..
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.
So far I am extremely happy with this hitch. It is very heavy duty. My towing capacity has changed and needed to upgrade to a heavy duty hitch. I have no doubts this is going to be Bulletproof!! It is very well built and a solid shank.
Fast shipping! Great service! This is my go to place for all my trailer & towing needs
Worst customer service ever. Took almost two months for them to deliver my purchased items to me. After a few weeks of phone calls asking where my stuff was they finally delivered my items, later than the 5-7 business days they promised as well. I will never buy anything from this website again.
The hitch looks very well made. I recently made some changes to my 02 F250 and needed a drop hitch.I mostly pull a #10000 GTW equipment trailer but occasionally pull a #14000 GTW dump trailer and a utility trailer with a 2" ball. This hitch fits my needs perfectly.
Our hitch arrived fast. The box was marked a different size than what we ordered. A quick phone call to them helped us determine what we received was what we ordered and needed. Thank you.
I purchased the 2-1/2" Bulletproof Adj Ball Mount for my 2019 RAM 2500 (Laramie, 4WD, 20" Rims&Tires, Off-Road Suspension) to have 1 mount for various trailers. This replaces various 2" mounts used on my 01 Silverado 2500. This is one serious, substantial piece of equipment! Heavy, good welds, nice powder coating! Pix compares this mount with a 7500# 2" Draw-tite mount. Nothing wrong with the Draw-tite, but no comparison in mass.
Some measurements, if interested: Truck: inside top of Receiver: 25" above grade. Bottom of mount without balls: 9-3/4" above grade (clearance). With 2-5/16" ball up: At lowest point: Top of Ball: 17" above grade. bottom of 2" ball: 9-1/4" above grade (clearance). At highest point: Top of Ball: 26-7/8" above grade. With 2" Ball up: At lowest point: Top of Ball: 16-1/2" above grade; bottom of 2-5/16" ball: 8-3/4" above grade (clearance). At highest point: Top of Ball: 26-1/2" above grade.
etrailer shipped quickly, only in original box from Bulletproof, with no exterior shipping box, but box was completely taped, so package arrived in good shape.
1 minor complaint: no pin included for securing mount into receiver.
