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.
BulletProof Hitches adjustable ball mounts are made in America and 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, Department of Homeland Security, and all branches of the United States military.
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 everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at this adjustable ball mount from BulletProof Hitches. This is gonna be for 2 1/2 inch hitches and give you a pretty decent amount of adjustment. Now they do make these with larger and smaller drop sizes so you can find the right one for you and your truck and trailer combination. But this one will give you at its max, a 6 1/4 inch drop and a 6 1/2 inch rise in its maximum rise position. Let's check it out.
Now, it's important to note that this is part of their medium duty series, which means you're not gonna get the highest weight capacity out of this. It's part of their medium duty because it's got a hollow shank and it's just overall not as high with the weight capacities. So as you can see from the outside here we've got two different ball sizes to choose from. And you will get slightly different capacities out of them. The 2 5/16 up top is gonna give you a 14,000 pound gross trailer weight rating, that's how much weight it can pull.
And the two inch ball on the bottom here will give you a 10,000 pound gross trailer weight rating. Regardless of which one you're using, you will have a 2,000 pound max tongue weight. That's the maximum downward pressure on the end of the ball mount. If you need higher capacities, then you can check out their more heavy duty options and you can find those here at etrailer if you need them. Just make sure that you're not overloading your vehicle and you go by the lowest rated component in your whole towing system.
But if the weight capacity isn't a concern for you and you're just looking for the easy height adjustment, then this is gonna work out just fine. The pins and clips are included. And we'll just remove those to release the ball platform. From there, we can slide it up and down and repin it wherever we decide works best for our truck and trailer combination. So if you're the type of person that has many different trailers that you're switching between all the time, this is a great way to make sure that you're always towing level.
And the same goes for the different coupler sizes. If you need to swap that because we're switching trailers, just flip the whole platform upside down, repin it wherever you need it, and then you're ready to go and get on your way. So all of those adjustments are really easy to do. And again that's the big benefit of an adjustable ball mount. This is kind of the one-stop shop for all of our different trailers, and we don't have to constantly switching things out of the hitch. Now while the pins that we saw earlier are included, the hitch pin and clip are not. So these are things you need to provide yourself and I would strongly recommend getting something like a locking hitch pin to keep this whole system safe and locked in place. And while you're at it, you can always pick up a locking pin to replace one of these to keep the ball platform locked up as well. Because it's really not much use if the shank is locked in but this isn't. Someone could easily just take this. While it's nice that these pins and clips are included, they aren't necessarily secure. So it's always a good idea to swap those out if you're gonna leave this in the back of your vehicle all the time. Now to get this to the rise position, just pull that out of the hitch, flip it around, and slide it back in. And then repin it in place whenever you're ready to go. So that's how you get that maximum rise out of this. And honestly, on our truck today, it's a pretty good fit. If you did need a rise, it's gonna give you a good amount of room to work with. And one thing you may have noticed when I was flipping it around is the fact that there's two different hitch pin holes. These are gonna be spaced apart about an inch and a half center on center. So if you need a little extra clearance, you can use that outer one. Or if you don't need the extra clearance, use the inner one. I'll slide this back in and pin it in that inner one. And we can get a few measurements. Now those measurements we're gonna take are from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the trailer ball here which is 11 inches. That'll let us know what kind of room we have between our truck and our trailer whenever we're hooked up. And again, this is from the innermost hole. So if you needed extra clearance, you could shift it to the outer one. And from that same point on the hitch pin hole to the closest point here where we've got this reinforcement gusset on the bottom, it's 3 1/2 inches. And that lets us know what kind of clearance we have with our hitch and if we do need to use that outer hole just to clear with our larger hitch. And one of the nice things about these bulletproof hitches is that it's not just a really functional ball mount that's well built and well constructed, it's gonna be really functional in terms of accessories too because you can kit this out with other pieces. Such as a pintle lock that can slide in above here to make this compatible with lunette ring trailers. You could even put a step here if you wanted an easier way to get up into your truck without lowering the tailgate. Really, the possibilities are really wide. And it's just down to how you plan on using your ball mount. And the nice thing about those accessories is the fact that you don't have to remove this from the hitch. If you get a locking hitch pin, you can leave it locked in there all the time, you can just swap accessories based on your needs. And the ball mount remains ready to go for the next time you're ready to tow. But that'll do it for our look at this BulletProof Hitches ball mount and seeing how it fits in our 2 1/2 inch hitch.

The thick channel plates and welded gusset on this USA-made, 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.Quick deliver. Perfect as ordered
Powder coating on the 2-1/2" ball didn't even last a 3 foot pull of our trailer. Used the supplied ball grease. the 2" ball powder coating has held up just fine. I love the flexibility in height this hitch gives me, but was really disappointed by the powder coating durability.
The BulletProff hitch is exactly as described. High quality, very solid and fits my needs. etrailer's service and online shopping is the best. Great descriptions and excellent video's describe and show their products very well. Fast replies and fast shipping.
Nice hitch. Works well, no complaints with it.
Item arrived on time and in perfect condition. Item was wrapped very well to prevent damage and the order/shipping process was very detailed. Will purchase again from etrailer next time I need and hitch items.
Great website, easy selection and very fast shipping.
Amazing how well built this hitch is!
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.
Awesome product and great price. This Bulletproof hitch is definitely well built. I see no problems ahead with this hitch.
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!
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.
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.
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!!!
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
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.
