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.
Heavy-Duty Construction
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.
Made in the USA
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.
Setting Up the BulletProof Ball Mount
To set up this BulletProof Hitches adjustable ball mount, insert the 2" x 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.
BulletProof Ball Mount Accessories
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.

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!!!
by: Matt 09/20/2023
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.
by: Troy 01/06/2024
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.

Works great
by: Ken08/27/2020
This hitch ball mount is a beast for sure. It has a nice appearance and a lot of weight. i do not see it letting me down at anytime. i also think that spacers could be provided to eliminate excess play. The web site is greatand was very helpfull. However, once ordered i thought the etrailer logistics, in house tracking process was a little misleading, if i see it is packaged not sure why it did not ship until 2 days later. of course, i am not on the ground not seeing everything going on might change my mind about the last comment. Thanks
by: Raymond08/17/2022
The hitch looks great. I put a No rattle bracelet on so that it’s nice and tight, Took my trailer out for a test run and it’s never pulled this good..
by: Tim 07/27/2023
Adjusts perfectly for the different trailers I pull and is heavy duty enough for all loads.
by: Michael L03/29/2023
Easy to install. Fit just right into the receiver. I pulled my 10k horse trailer. It was so tight there was no jerking or bumping when starting out or stopping. Great hitch!!
by: Jim H01/22/2021
Have used this many times over the last year. It is nice to always have the right ball size and offset no matter what I haul. Two things I've done to improve my experience. I machined a small plate to wedge between the ball unit and receiver yoke to remove slop and rattle. If the trailer is light and bounces a lot, this is nice to have. I also cut off the bottom hole as there is no trailer that has needed this much offset, plus it was too close to the ground (2020 Ram 1500 4WD) for comfort. This was done precisely with a bandsaw and then ground smooth, radiused and painted. You can not tell it has been altered. I am very happy with this hitch and have recommended it to friends.

Outstanding, extremely heavy duty, great textured finish. This Bullet Proof Hitch (MD206) 2-Ball Mount is hands down top shelf quality. And made in USA!! Note; If purchasing receiver locks, save a few bucks and buy the etrailer e98881 3-5/8" span lock instead of the Infinite brand 3-7/8" locks. The etrailer lock secures with 3-1/2 turns from key for a perfect tight fit.
No doubt would recommend!! Will not be diappointed.
etrailer is professional, great care in shipping, and good prices!!

Delivered on time and the unit is high quality.

Super stout, make sure to get the accessory clamps to keep it from rattling
by: Brent06/13/2022
We couldn't get a uhaul when escaping Oregon because so many people are leaving the state. We ended up buying two cargo trailers and doing the move to Texas in 3 trips. The hitch worked with no problems. Hitch is on a 2018 Ram 2500HD. This hitch is the swiss army knife of hitches. Any configuration you need this hitch can do it.
by: Marvin 09/24/2021
I bought this hitch because I don't like to get caught short. Very solid and stout. I use it for my business to haul a 6000 lbs. trailer with a large compressor on it. Turn it up, let it hang, it still does the job and allows my trailer to remain level as I drive. If you are on the fence about this hitch, go ahead and jump off and get it. I'm getting another one but I'm going to get the 4" drop/rise.
by: Michael 06/07/2023
I love this hitch. Having the flexibility is amazing. It is a little heavy, but it is heavy duty.
by: Nikolay09/29/2020
Always great pricing and fast shipping, the product is outstanding
by: Phil 05/11/2020
this thing is amazing....gone are the days of switching hitches around, or worse-trying to switch ball sizes...this thing is well built.

excellent, still love this thing
by: David06/20/2019
Great item that appears to be perfectly built, fit and finish is amazing. Packaged securely in a box so that nothing was damaged in shipping. I waited a long time to spend over $200 on an adjustable hitch but glad I bought this brand and type of hitch. I seems very solid and will last a long time. Now my two different trailers will finally be hauled down the road level.
by: Chip08/09/2021
I purchased this hitch over a year ago to put on a lifted 2016 F-150 to pull a 22' camper. The hitch is very well-built hitch that has been frequently used on a variety of trailers. I now use it on a 2020 F-350 and it still works great.
by: Mark 09/15/2021
This is a super hitch. Etrailer is really easy to work with and customer service is awesome.
by: Dustin 09/23/2021
It lives up to its name. I’ve been completely happy with this hitch and it’s versatility
by: William07/14/2019
Two words describes this thing; Bad A[**].
If you want a hitch to end all hitches, get this. Fit and finish are second to none and the look is amazing. You will not be disappointed!
by: Julius 08/24/2020
I was impressed with the rapid delivery as well as the ease with knowing when the package would arrive. The adjustable hitch was exactly what I expected and wanted. Thank-you
by: John06/28/2021
Just got it, looks good, staying with the blackout theme. Seems much lighter than my prior one, easy to adjust height, is nice with multiple trailers. Seems like it will work great for a long time.
by: Nicholas 12/22/2020
This ball hitch is extremely high quality and aesthetically constructed. If you are looking for a quality product, this is it.

See what our Experts say about this BulletProof Hitches Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Recommended Adjustable Ball Mount With Plenty of Bumper ClearanceI'd recommend the US-made # MD206 BulletProof hitch. The ball mount offers up to a 6 inch rise or drop, and includes both a 2 inch and a 2-5/16 inch ball. The ball mount features 2 hitch pin holes, the one furthest away from the ball provides a hitch pin hole to closest portion of the upright distance of 12-1/2 inches. When we installed the Draw-Tite version of your hitch (same hitch, different label) on a 2011 Honda Odyssey, we found that the hitch pin hole was recessed behind the bumper...
view full answer... - Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-350It sounds like from your history on our site that you're looking for an adjustable ball mount for your 2017 Ford F-350. Of the three ball mounts you looked at, parts # MD206, # FA49-00-5625,and # FA42-00-2825 I like the Fastway # FA42-00-2825 because it has a slightly higher amount of travel in the rise and drop but more importantly is completely aluminum causing it to be lighter and resistant to corrosion. The # FA42-00-2825 fits a 2-1/2 inch receiver so if your truck has 2 inch then...
view full answer... - Adjustable Ball Mount With Drop That Has Sway Control TabIt sounds like you are looking for a ball mount with drop that is able to utilize a sway control tab, and we do have an option for that, with a ball mount from BulletProof Hitches along with a ball mount platform with a sway control tab. The platform would be the following part: - Sway Control 2-Ball Platform for BulletProof Hitches Ball Mount # 358SWAYCONTROLBALL This platform comes with 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls with the sway control tab and ball on the side so you can connect your...
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for a 2017 Ram 1500In order to choose the correct ball mount for a truck you really need to have specific measurements on the hitch height as well as the coupler height for the trailer/trailers you'll be towing. That said, we know you'll most likely need a drop ball mount with multiple adjustments so in which case I recommend the BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount part # MD206. This drop ball mount offers up to 6" of drop and comes with multiple hitch balls so it can be used with a variety of trailers.
view full answer... - In Need Of A 2-5/16" Hitch Ball For A 2006 Toyota TundraI can certainly point you in the right direction. Firstly, we suggest checking your owners manual and verifying that you can tow 6,000 lbs with your truck. If it is able to tow 6K or more then we can set you up. If you do not have a factory hitch, you can use the Curt class 3 hitch # C13180. This hitch can tow up to 6,000 lbs, so just enough for your horse trailer. As far as a ball mount and 2-5/16" ball I recommend using an adjustable ball mount like the bulletproof hitch # MD206. This...
view full answer... - Is There a Way to Lock Ball Mount Platform to Channel of BulletProof Adjustable Ball MountWe offer the InfiniteRule Hitch Lock for 3" Hitches # 34065034 that we know fits and works great to lock the ball mount platform of the BulletProof Hitch # MD206 that you referenced. The span of this is 3-7/8 inches and the diameter is 5/8 inch.
view full answer... - Are Rock Tamer Mud Flaps Compatible With BulletProof Adjustable Ball Mount?The BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 6" Drop/Rise - 14,000 lbs # MD206 will work well with the Rock Tamers # ERT00108. The ball mount shank has adequate room for this application when using the farthest hitch pin hole.
view full answer... - Flipping a Ball/Pintle ComboAccording to the folks at Curt, when the # CU37FR and # C48007 pintle hooks are designed and cast, they are not designed to withstand the force they'd be subjected to if they were inverted and used as standard ball mount. You'd be best served by measuring the receiver height and the height of the trailer coupler when it's jacked up so it's level, and finding the height difference. Then choose a ball mount that would provide you with the necessary weight rating, ball size and rise for...
view full answer... - Does the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock Work w/ Hitch Receivers 3-5/8 Inches Wide?Yes, it will. The etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches item # e98881 will work with both the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount item # MD206 and your hitch's 3-5/8" wide receiver. To get the etrailer lock keyed alike you will need to select keyed alike above the quantity option. You can purchase as many locks as you want that can be locked and unlocked by the same key so long as they are in the same order.
view full answer... - Does the BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount Come With a Hitch PinThe BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount part # MD206 does not come with a hitch pin as that is how it is offered from the manufacturer. It will accept a standard hitch pin like part # PC3 but I recommend protecting your investment with locking hitch pins part # 34061674-D or just part # 34061074-D.
view full answer... - Recommended Locks for the BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for 2 HitchYes, we do offer locking pins for the BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch part # MD206. These can be purchased individually with part # 34061074-D or as a set using part # 34061674-D. The set gives you the same key for all three locks. The pins will work in any of the three holes on the ball mount.
view full answer... - Reason Why BulletProof Hitches Ball Mount Measurements Differ From etrailer MeasurementsYou are correct, the BulletProof website lists different measurements for the # MD206. In fact, this is true for all of their ball mounts. The reason for this is the way they measure which doesn't follow the standard. Rise is the distance from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform when the ball mount is oriented for greater coupler height. Drop is the distance from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform when the ball mount is oriented for lower coupler height....

- What Lunette Ring Drop Hitch do You Recommend? If you are looking for a down hitch that includes the lunette ring itself, we unfortunately do not carry one of those models. However, your best option is to use a shank like the BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 6" Drop/Rise # MD206 along with the Lunette Ring for BulletProof Hitches Adjustable Ball Mount - 3" Diameter # 358LOOP.

Still as good as day one. It is used a lot. I change offset and flip the ball constantly based on the specific trailer. It is nice to have JUST ONE hitch for everything I pull.
