Features to know about

Built for Heavy Loads: Solid Steel Strength up to 22,000 lbs

When you’re towing big campers, boats, or equipment trailers, you need a hitch that doesn’t flinch under pressure. The BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount for 2-1/2" hitches is built from solid steel with thick channel plates and a welded gusset for maximum strength. It handles up to 12,000 lbs with the 2" ball or 22,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball, giving you the confidence to haul heavy loads without worrying about flex or fatigue.

Keeps Every Trailer Level: 5-1/4" Drop and 5" Rise Adjustment

Getting the right height match between truck and trailer means smoother towing and less sway. This mount’s adjustable channel offers 3 mounting positions with a maximum of 5-1/4" drop or 5" rise, so you can dial in your trailer height fast. Just move the ball platform up or down with the included pins and clips—no tools needed—to keep everything level and stable on the road.

Built to Last: Corrosion-Resistant Matte Black Finish

Towing gear takes a beating from rain, salt, and road grime. The matte black powder coat on this mount resists corrosion while keeping a clean look after repeated use. Underneath, the nickel undercoat and zinc topcoat on the steel pins add even more protection against rust. It’s a setup that keeps its strength and finish season after season.

BulletProof Hitches heat-treated steel pins and clips with nickel undercoat and zinc topcoat for corrosion resistance.

Simple to Use: Dual-Ball Platform that Flips Fast

Switching between trailers is easy with the welded dual-ball platform. Use the 2" ball for lighter hauls or flip it over to the 2-5/16" ball for bigger loads—just pull the pins, rotate, and reinsert. With no loose parts or complicated adjustments, it’s quick to set up and ready when you are.

Extra Stability Where It Counts: Gusseted Channel and Precision Fit

Heavy trailers can push a mount to its limit, but this one’s gusseted design keeps it solid. The 1/2" thick welded gusset plate braces the shank and channel so they stay rigid even at full drop or rise. The CNC-chamfered solid steel shank slides smoothly into your 2-1/2" receiver without sharp edges that could chip coating or cause binding—everything fits snug and secure for a quiet, steady tow.

Video Transcript for Review of the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitch

Hello neighbors, Steve here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at our Bulletproof hitch two ball ball mount rated at 22,000 pounds. So folks, this amazing two ball ball mount will let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle and the shank here is gonna slide and fit into a 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch hitch receiver tube. Now the hitch ball, you're gonna have a 2 5/16 option or a 2 inch option and that's gonna provide a nice connection point for the trailer coupler. Now it is adjustable height so you can pull these two pins out and you can move it up or down a couple of holes depending on the riser drop that you need. The ball platform, like I said, slides up or down and goes in place with those two pins.

Those retainer clips are on there. You have a total of three mounted positions, two pins per mounting position. The whole thing is made of a heavy duty steel construction and it's got a nice matte black powder coat finish that's gonna resist corrosion. You can switch balls easy by removing the pins and flipping the ball head over. It does have a nice 5/16 inch thick channel frame that's super strong and durable up here on the front channel and it has a nice half inch thick welded gusset plate to help make it strong as well here on the backside.

That's the gusset. The hitch balls are welded on for superior strength and durability as well. Everything's been heat treated steel, it's gonna withstand heavy weights. It has a nickel undercoat with the zinc top coat to also help resist corrosion and ensure strength. If you need a hitch pin or a locking hitch pin, that's all sold separately and the whole part here is SAEJ 684 certified.

You're also gonna get this tube of Bulletproof anti-friction grease. A lot of people don't do this, but you really are supposed to put a little grease on the ball. That way it can spin free in the coupler and make it just a lot easier on turns. You get a lot less noise and squeaks and that kind of stuff as well, and it helps prevent corrosion and keeps your coupler working really good as well. Now I'll throw an image up here real quick of some dimensions.

From the top of the center of the ball over to the farthest rear pin, it's 13 1/4 inches. From that same center of the ball to the closest pinhole is actually 11 3/4 quarter inches. That's not on the picture there, but I measured it. Then you got the 10 5/8 from the front of the channel to the back center of the pin hole, 9 3/4 overall in the height and 6 inches from the gusset back to the back center of the pin hole. Folks, the total length of this hole platform when it's installed is 18 1/4 inches long. Total weight of this guy is about 45 pounds and the pinhole diameters are 5/8 inch as well as these holes over here on the adjustment. Folks, it has a nice limited lifetime warranty. This has been our look at the Bulletproof hitch, a 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch hitch receiver tube. I'm Steven, thanks so much for watching. Have a great day.

  • Long Adjustable Ball Mount For 11,000 lb Trailer
    So there isn't a 6 inch hitch extender for a 2 inch hitch that has an 11,000 lb capacity and 1,200 lb tongue weight capacity, and hitch extenders also reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50 percent, so they are generally just used for accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers. That means the best option we can offer is a ball mount with an extended reach, which may work for you depending on the distance you need. The longest ball mount that has the capacity you need is from BulletProof...

  • Locking Hitch Pin Kit Recommendation for BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitch
    To lock the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitch # HD254 to your hitch receiver I recommend the InfiniteRule Hitch Lock # 34061072-D, but if you're interested in locking the platform to the ball mount as well then you'll want the InfiniteRule Locking Pins # 34061674-D instead. This kit gives you 3 pins (2 for the platform and 1 for the hitch receiver) that are all keyed alike so you get the security of a lock and the convenience of using 1 key for the whole system.

  • Width of BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount # HD254 For Ball Mount Locking Pins
    The BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount # HD254 is 3-1/2" wide from the outside of the channel to outside of channel. I have included an image showing you where I measured this. We do have the InfiniteRule Locking Pins # 34061674-D which are stainless steel and can fit a span up to 3-7/8". These 3 locking pins are keyed alike so you will not have to keep track of multiple keys for the hitch as well as the receiver locking pins.

  • Amount of Drop For BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount # HD254 In Center Mounting Position
    The mounting holes for the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount # HD254 are spaced 2" on center. This will give you 3-1/4" of drop in the center mounting position. Be sure to use a set of InfiniteRule Locking Pins # 34061674-D if you plan to leave the hitch on your truck when not towing.
