Specs:
This adjustable ball mount has a maximum capacity of 36,000 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 36,000 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.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a look at this BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty Adjustable two-ball mount for 2 1/2-inch hitches. This adjustable ball mount has a maximum capacity of 36,000 pounds, making it ideal for extreme heavy-duty towing. Now, this shank is going to slide into your 2 1/2-inch hitch receiver on your vehicle, and it's ideal for vehicles with 28 to 30 inches of clearance from the ground to the bottom of the inside of the receiver tube. The adjustable height lets you tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle. The hitch ball platform slides up or down the channel and secures in place with the included pin and clips.
Now, 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, the channel plates have consistently sized pinholes, so you can easily remove and position the hitch ball platform. And I'm just gonna show you how easy that is. I'm gonna remove our clips, remove our pins, and right now I have this on the 2 5/16-inch hitch ball. I'm just gonna turn it over to the two inch and lower it a little bit, and I'm just very impressed with how easy it is to remove these pins and replace them.
As you can see, you're not gonna be struggling with these at all when you want to adjust the ball platform. So they're gonna very easily slide right into place and then you can be on your way. Now, these pin and clips are made of heat-treated steel to withstand the heavy weight from your load, and that zinc finish is gonna provide corrosion resistance. As you can see, we have nine adjustment holes that's gonna give you seven mounting positions, providing a maximum drop of about 13 1/4 inches. And if you flip this over, you're gonna get a maximum rise of about 13 inches, and the adjustment hole diameter is 5/8 of an inch.
Now, you can tow up to 12,000 pounds with this two-inch ball or up to 36,000 pounds with the 2 5/16-inch hitch ball. The maximum tongue weight capacity is 6,000 pounds, and these hitch balls are welded onto the ball platform for extra sturdiness. This is made of a heavy-duty steel construction that's strong enough to handle trailers and heavy-duty cargo. And the matte powder coat finish is not only attractive and not only is gonna make this look great on the back of your vehicle, but practically it's going to protect the ball mount from rust and corrosion, even after repeated use. This is a thick application of powder coat, so it's textured as well, so it's not gonna easily chip off or peel off.
Now, this extreme duty version by Bulletproof is constructed of a different grade steel than their heavy-duty ball applications. So just making it very durable and well-built for those extreme towing conditions. This solid steel shank is CNC Chamfer, making it easy to slide the shank into and out of your hitch receiver, so there's no sharp edges on the shank itself and that powder coating is less likely to chip and peel. The hitch pin hole diameter is 5/8 of an inch. And I do wanna point out that this does not come with a pin and clip or with a hitch lock. So if you do not have a pin and clip, that would be a separate purchase. However, I would recommend checking out the hitch locks here at etrailer.com to secure this investment to the back of your vehicle. This half-inch-thick steel gusset is welded between the shank and the channel, bracing the mount and keeping 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. You could add a clevis or shackle attachment for off-road or recovery operations, or just simply add a hitch step to easily access your truck bed. Check out the Related Products section on this Product Page to see those options. Speaking of this Product Page, we do have a detailed diagram of all the important measurements that you are going to find helpful to make sure and confirm that this is going to work for your application. So again, this is for extreme heavy-duty towing applications. The total weight of this is about 84 pounds. Now, this is SAE-J684-certified. This does have a limited lifetime warranty. 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 solid steel ball mount make it perfect for heavy-duty use. Tow up to 12K with the 2" ball or 36K with the 2-5/16" ball. Adjustable design lets you tow trailers of various heights.Great product, website interface, shipping, could not be happier.
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.
Works great
Excellent parts and fast delivery. Will buy from again if I need more trailer towing equipment
Fantastic. After a year of ownership and heavy use in the construction industry, I believe this hitch could hold the weight of the world on it!
