dimensional diagram

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.


Heavy-Duty Construction

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.


ED2512 channel

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.


ED2512 gusset

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.


bulletproof 2.5 shank

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.


bulletproof hitches ball platform

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.


bulletproof hitches pins and clips

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.



Setting Up the BulletProof Ball Mount

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.


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.

Video Transcript for BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitch: The Breakdown

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.
