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.

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this adjustable two-ball mount from BulletProof Hitches. This is going to allow you to hook your trailer up to your towed vehicle. The shank will slide into your 2 1/2-inch by 2 1/2-inch trailer hitch receiver on your vehicle. You can see, you do have these chamfered edges that will make it much easier for you to slide this in without it binding up. And then, we do have our hitch balls that are gonna provide that connection point for your trailer coupler.
Now, we do have two different sized hitch balls, so that will accommodate two different sized trailer couplers. So we've got a two-inch ball and a 2 5/16-inch ball. So if you're one of those people who's pulling several different kinds of trailers, this will give you options as to how to easily hook up to those trailers. It's very easy to switch from one ball to the other. You just pull out those clips, move the pins, and flip it over to the ball that you need.
Line up the holes here on the side, pass the pin through, and then reinsert your clips. Now, as you can see, this is also going to allow us to set our height to accommodate trailers with different heights. So if you're using this in the drop position like we have it here, if you move this ball mount all the way down to the lowest position, your max drop is gonna be about 11 1/4 of an inch. So if your coupler sits about 11 inches or 11 1/4 of an inch below the top inside edge of your receiver tube on your hitch, this will allow you to tow that trailer nice and level. But we can flip this over and use it in the rise position as well.
It's gonna give us a rise of 11 inches. So in the unlikely scenario where your trailer coupler sits 11 inches higher than your hitch, this will also accommodate that for you. And of course, we are gonna have six different mounting positions between those extremes, so it's gonna give you a lot of versatility in what kind of trailer heights you can work with to make sure that your trailer's gonna be nice and level. This does have a really heavy-duty steel construction. It's very well built, it's very strong, and durable for you.
Our channel frame here is 5/16 of an inch thick, so it is gonna be very strong and durable. It's gonna hold our ball mount securely in place. On the backside here, we do have a half-inch thick gusset plate that is welded in place to brace our shank and our channel. So it's gonna give us support back there. And then, our hitch balls are welded onto our ball platform, again, for extra sturdiness and durability. So if we're using our two-inch ball, we're gonna have a gross towing weight of 12,000 pounds. If we're using the 2 5/16-inch ball, we're gonna have a 22,000-pound gross towing weight. Both balls are gonna have the same maximum tongue weight, which is 3,000 pounds. So it's gonna work great for a lot of different towing situations. We do have other very similar options with different drops and rises. So if you're needing more or less, well, if you need less this will still work for you. But if you don't wanna have that full size, we do have other options available that are very similar, just with those different max drop and rise options available. But as you can see, this is going to have this nice matte black powder coat finish that's gonna help resist rust and corrosion, and it's gonna give it a nice look to it as well. It only weighs about 52 pounds, so it's gonna be pretty reasonable to put in and take off when you need to. They do not include a pin and clip here to secure this onto your hitch. You probably already have one. It's just your standard 5/8-inch diameter pin you probably use for your other hitch-mounted accessories. But if you don't already have one, we do have lots of options available here at etrailer.com, so you can pick one of those up. We also have hitch locks that will provide a little extra security, make sure no one can take off with this when you're not around. So those are available here at etrailer.com as well. We do have a very detailed diagram of measurements for you to make sure that this is gonna work for your setup available on the product page. So if you have any questions about measurements, I would encourage you to check out that diagram. But the one measurement I do wanna make sure to give you is gonna be your clearance. So from the bottom of our channel here up to the bottom of our receiver tube or bottom of our shank, which is gonna be the bottom of your receiver tube, it's just shy of 13 inches. I'm gonna call it 12 3/4 of an inch to be safe. So make sure that, that's gonna work for your setup, that's not gonna get too close to ground and cause clearance issues for you. But most likely, if you need this large of a drop, your truck sits up pretty high, so that shouldn't be much of an issue for you. This does meet the SAE J684 certified standard, so it is J684 certified. It is made here in the USA, so you can trust it's made to the high-quality standards we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US. And it also comes with a limited lifetime warranty, so if you we're to have any problems with it, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com. But I really don't think you're gonna have any issues. I think this is a very well-built product. It gives you lots of options on your height settings and what trailer couplers you can hook up to. I think you'll be very happy with it. Again, just make sure that you're getting the right setup for you, that rise and drop is gonna be sufficient for your setups. So that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

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.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.
This bad boy is bulletproof. If you can't tow with this, you need a fifth wheel or goose neck. Plenty of accessories available for the base hitch; ball, pintle, tow shackle, step, locking pins, etc. Comes in a variety of rises and drops, weight and class ratings. Recommend going to Bulletproof hitch Website and follow the fitment guide based on your tow vehicle characteristics/specifications. The last hitch you'll buy and lifetime warranty.
I think this company must build anvils, and military tanks as well. Bullet Proof ball mounts are impressive, to say the least.
Awesome hitch. etrailer gave me a super deal. Thanks
Product is built to last.
Very fast shipping I am very impressed.
Would buy this product again and again and again and again. Is worth the money
Quick delivery. Good service
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.
