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.
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 there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this Bulletproof Hitches adjustable two-ball mount. This is going to allow you to hook your trailer up to your tow vehicle. This will slide right into your 2 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver on your vehicle. You can see we do have these chamfered edges that are going to make it very easy for us to slide this shank into your receiver tube on your hitch. And then on the front, we are going to have our hitch balls that provide the connection point for your trailer coupler.
We are gonna have two different size hitch balls, so this will be great for those of you who are hauling or towing different kinds of trailers, trailers with different size couplers. So we've got a two-inch ball and a 2 5/16-inch ball. It's very simple to switch those out. If you are switching from one trailer to the other, just simply pull out the clips, remove the pins, and then you can flip this over, get it lined up with those holes and slide those pins right back in. Very simple and easy to do.
As you can see, this is also going to allow us different height settings. So if our trailer is a little bit shorter than the last one that we we're towing, we can very easily adjust the ball mount to accommodate those different heights. So if we we're to have this in the drop position like we do now, and we we're to set the ball mount at the lowest of the three positions available, we would get a maximum drop of about five and a quarter of an inch. We could also flip this over and use it in the rise position and that would give us a maximum rise of five inches. So if your trailer coupler sits five inches above where your shank is gonna go in, or if it sits about five and a quarter of an inch below where your shank will slide into your receiver tube, this is gonna work for you to make sure that you can accommodate those different heights.
We do have other ball mounts that are very similar to this that have greater drops and rises. So if you are needing more, I would encourage you to check those out. But if you're just needing that little five inch in either direction wiggle room, this is gonna do a great job for you. This is a heavy duty steel construction so it's gonna be very strong and durable. You can see we've got the 5/16-inch thick channel frame here that our ball mount is going to adjust or fit into, and we can adjust up and down.
That's gonna be extremely strong and durable. It's going to give us a high weight capacity which we'll go over here in a moment. We're also going to have this half inch thick welded gusset plate that's gonna brace our shank and our channel. And the hitch balls themselves are welded to the ball platform here for extra sturdiness. So overall, a really nice construction. It's gonna give us a gross towing weight capacity with our two-inch ball of 12,000 pounds. Our 2 5/16-inch ball is gonna have a gross towing weight of 22,000 pounds. They're both gonna have the same maximum tongue weight which is 3,000 pounds. So it should work for quite a bit, quite a few trailers out there to accommodate those towing needs. And it is only about 45 pounds, so not super light, but definitely manageable to slide into your hitch and take it out when you need to. But with that adjustability, you really should only have to be working with the ball mount itself, adjusting that height to fit your different trailers. The hitch pin and clip to get this secured onto your hitch is not included. You probably already have one that you use with your other hitch mount accessories, but it is just your standard 5/8-inch diameter pin and clip that would be needed for that. And we do have options for you available here at etrailer.com if you don't already have one. We also have locking pins or hitch locks available. So if you wanted to add a little extra security, make sure that no one is able to take off with this when you're not around, I would encourage you to pick those up. And we do also have a detailed diagram of the measurements for this ball mount available on our product page. So if you are curious about any of the measurements here, make sure it's gonna work for your set-up, I would encourage you to check out the product page and find that diagram of measurements. This does meet the SAE J684 standard, so it is J684-certified. It is made here in the USA so you can trust it's made to the high quality standard. 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 don't think you're gonna have any issues. I think you're gonna be very happy with this. It's gonna give you a very sturdy feel as you are towing those different trailers with different coupler sizes and different heights. Like I said, if that five-inch range in the other direction isn't gonna be enough for you, we do have other Bulletproof Hitches that have greater rises and drops, so be sure to check those out. That completes our look for today. Again I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Love this purchase!! Friend has NextGen Hitch. Looks beefier than mine, but capacity is way less and he paid more!
Exactly what I expected. Very well made product. Tight tolerances on all parts. Ready to work. Very happy with this hitch.
Great customer service.
I ordered the wrong items and customer service took care of return and processed a new order for the correct items.
They provided the return work and made it so easy.
Great product
This hitch is solid! By far the strongest and best optioned hitch that I have ever had.
well made and works good and price was not to bad
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!!!
