When you’re hauling serious weight, you need gear that won’t flinch. This mount delivers a maximum gross towing weight of 30,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball and 12,000 lbs with the 2" ball, backed by a 6,000-lb tongue weight capacity. The solid steel shank and welded gusset plate keep the setup rigid under load, so you can tow big campers, boats, or equipment trailers with confidence.
Different trailers sit at different heights—this adjustable design makes matching them easy. The channel has 5 mounting positions so you can set the hitch ball platform exactly where it needs to be. Whether you’re dropping 9-1/4" or raising 9-1/2", it keeps your trailer even and steady for balanced towing.
This mount is built from thick, laser-cut steel—5/16" channel plates reinforced by a 1/2" welded gusset and solid steel shank. The matte black powder coat finish resists rust and corrosion through rain, salt, and road grime. Even after repeated use, the coating stays tough so your hitch keeps looking good and performing strong.
The 2-ball platform is all about convenience. The 2" and 2-5/16" balls are welded to the same solid steel plate for strength, and switching between them takes only a moment—just pull the pins, flip the platform, and lock it back in. No tools needed, no extra parts to keep track of.
Every connection matters when you’re pulling that much weight. The included pins and clips are made of heat-treated steel with a nickel undercoat and zinc topcoat for extra protection against corrosion. They hold tight under heavy pressure and keep your adjustable setup solid mile after mile.

Hi I'm Matt with etrailer. Today we're talking about the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount. The reason a lot of people invest in a ball mount system that has a rise or drop to it is so they can accommodate the trailers they are pulling because you want everything to be lined up. So to do that, this rise and drop allows you to lower or raise that ball mount. There are several rise and drop options for these extreme duty trailer ball mounts. You'll just want to go with the one that's gonna be the best fit for your truck and trailer combination.
Get the most level towing experience. Whether you choose to go with the one we have today or the one with the higher rise and drop, they both are gonna function the exact same way. So let's take a closer look at it. Starting with the balls up top, we're gonna have this 2-5/16th inch ball. That's gonna be capable of carrying up to 30,000 pounds, and the one on the bottom is gonna be a two inch ball capable of carrying up to 12,000 pounds.
They're both gonna have the same tongue weight though, and that's gonna be at 6,000 pounds. The system's also gonna include two pins and some safety clips on them, and they're gonna secure down this ball mount to the housing. (metal rattles) Now there is a little bit of rattling we still get from this, but I wouldn't worry about too much because we do have both these pins, which do feel pretty sturdy (pink clank) and they do a really good job holding this into place, especially getting the back in and secured. I'm not really struggling any, especially since we do have this thicker powder coat, which is kind of rough. It is pretty easy to use still.
Now you're only gonna get two of these pins, so you'll have to invest in getting a pin in clip for the hitch pin. What I actually recommend is investing in a locking system too, so no one can come by and take this right off. The system is gonna be constructed from a heat treated steel, so what that means is it's gonna be able to withstand really heavy weights, like I said earlier, up to 30,000 pounds. Now just make sure you know that your vehicle is rated to tow that amount of weight, and then we're gonna have this black powder coat finish to it, which is gonna help it be more rust resistant. But keep in mind, if you're constantly using this a lot, this does have the likelihood to scratch up some.
So if that finish comes off in any place, it is gonna raise a likelihood of rusting in those spots. You'll probably also notice when I've been kind of handling this, we do have a little bit of rattle back here (bar rattles) and that might not be a big thing for you if you're towing, but if you have this in the back of your vehicle just for the time being and nothing's on here, you might not be a big fan of that. So what I just recommend is just investing in an anti-rattle device to put on here so you don't have to deal with that. Now, if you want to save on some space, if this is sticking out just a little bit too long for you, you actually can put this in a different position by just removing this pin (pin clanks) and just push it in some and line it up with that second hole. Then this is gonna save you a little bit of space. (metal clanks) If you want, you can flip it around, do this like this, and then you're gonna get variations when you have it in the rise (metal clanks) just like that. Overall, I think it's gonna be a great system for anyone who plans on towing a lot of different size trailers, especially with how adjustable this is and how easy it is to maneuver and especially how well this is constructed. It's something that's gonna last you a long time because especially since it does have a nickel undercoat and a zinc top coat, that's also gonna assist with being corrosion resistant and adding additional strength to the entire system. This is just a look at some of the features of the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount. Thanks for stopping by.
Ratings & Reviews
Heavy duty. Very nice and looks great
Great hitch on my sons F150.
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.
Very good quality for the price. It's perfect for what I need (a roughly 4.5in rise for a 3800lb trailer).
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!
Quality piece
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 perfectly and customer service is top notch
Works great on my RAV4 with my 5 x14 utility trailer
Hitch mounted in the up position
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.
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.
Great hitch, and great experience with etrailer. The shipping was fast, and everything was packaged nicely. I even put the sticker on my truck window.
I have bulletproof hitches on all my vehicles. The quality is awesome and won't use anyone other than etrailer for my towing needs.
Very high-quality hitch! The shipping was FAST!
Fit truck and trailer better than expected. Pulls heavy trailer very well. That is why I bought locks to try and keep the hitch from being taken.
Great hitch! Very solid. Was a little bigger than expected but no issues. Makes switch between trailers so much easier
heavy duty that’s for sure. packaging was excellent and no chance of it getting damaged in transit.Its got some weight to it so that’s good.Powder coating is nice.Its definitely getting the job done.
Rust starting to show and coating has worn off. Rep suggested this drop length and it is definitely too much even with my 2500. Not a product flaw a customer service flaw
The product was delivered as promised and I have had the opportunity to try it. I'm very happy with it. Some reviewers complained about noise, so I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet my connection was especially compared with my previous hitch. I am very confident that will me meet my towing needs!
Not my first time dealing with Etrailer and definitely not my last. Easy ordering and on time every time. Hitch is built very well exactly what we needed to tow our skid steer around. Seems very solid compared to otehrs we looked at.
Thanks etrailer.
It is heavy buy a locking pin so you don’t have to take it off
The folks at eTrailer come through for me again with another great product - this hitch gives me the high towing capacity I need (that the pretty polished hitches can’t) and the adjustability I need for my varying trailers and trucks. As always, the eTrailer service and fast shipping is the best in the business! I love these guys!
The hitch is amazing. If you want to continue using safety chains you will have to run chains to the receiver above the ball then to the trailer chains. I modified mine and it works. Or just don't attach the chains properly. The regular set up for the chains probably wont work because the receiver hangs down so low. This is nothing negative against the receiver. With a drop like this it was to be expected.
