Features to know about

Keeps Every Trailer Level: 8-1/4" Drop or 8-3/4" Rise

When you tow a mix of trailers, the right height makes all the difference. This adjustable mount gives you up to an 8-1/4" drop and an 8-3/4" rise, so you can dial in a level setup whether you’re hauling a camper, boat, or equipment trailer. The platform slides within the channel and locks in with the included pins and clips, keeping everything secure while letting you switch quickly between positions.

Handles Big Loads with Confidence: Rated up to 14,000 lbs

Heavy trailers push gear to its limits, so strength matters. The welded 2-ball platform on this mount is built from solid steel—rated for 10,000 lbs on the 2" ball and 14,000 lbs on the 2-5/16" ball. A 1/2" thick gusset plate braces the shank to the channel for extra stability. It’s the kind of setup that feels solid every time you hitch up.

Built to Last: Thick Steel Plates and Matte Black Finish

Road grime, salt, and weather can eat away at a hitch over time. This mount’s 5/16" thick channel plates and matte black powder coat finish hold up through heavy use and tough conditions. The coating resists corrosion, while the laser-cut steel stays true through years of towing.

Fast Changes Between Trailers: Dual Balls in One Mount

No need to swap hardware when you switch trailers. The welded dual-ball platform gives you both a 2" and a 2-5/16" ball in one piece. Just pull the pins, flip the platform, and reinsert the clips—it’s simple and tool-free. You’re ready to go from hauling a small utility trailer to a heavy cargo hauler in minutes.

Ready for Accessories and Secure Hookups

The 2" x 2" shank fits standard receivers, and multiple pin holes let you choose your preferred length for clearance or accessory fitment. The included pins and clips are heat-treated steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance. This mount is also compatible with BulletProof Hitches accessories like clevis or hitch step attachments (sold separately), giving you flexibility for different towing needs.

Adjusts perfectly for the different trailers I pull and is heavy duty enough for all loads.



by:

It lives up to its name. I’ve been completely happy with this hitch and it’s versatility



by:

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:

This is a super hitch. Etrailer is really easy to work with and customer service is awesome.



by:

it is perfect,no deflection whats so ever, use it on various height trailers,easely adjustable,i am happy with it.



by:

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:

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:

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.

excellent, still love this thing



by:

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:

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!!

Looks good, Thomas! Hauling anything fun?



by:

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:

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:

Major upgrade to replace my old jenky drop hitch. I won’t be concerned anymore when pulling the boat.



by:

Good product and fast shipping, but I ordered the 8" drop and you sent the 6" drop. I'm not sending it back, but next time be more careful about what you are sending out. Thanks



by:

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.

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.



by:

Always great pricing and fast shipping, the product is outstanding



by:

Awesome heavy duty hitch for my car hau ler!



by:

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:

Overall a great beefy hitch that appears to be made to high standards. Speed and ease of order, prep to shipping, to delivery (2 days) was best in class. No complaints in these regards. I gave the hitch an overall rating of 4 because I think that it should come with the receiver pin as well and at least the receiver pin and one hitch pin needs to be locking with matching keys.



by:

Best hitch I’ve owned! And I just ordered the weight distribution accessory for this as well.



by:

Arrived in mint condition.

Working great. Handles a 12,500 pound trailer just fine. I like how adjustable it is so I can switch between big trailer and log splitter fast and easy.



by:

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

  • My Bulletproof 14K Drop Hitch Drags - Can I Cut It Down To Size?
    Hey Brian, thanks for reaching out. I'm glad you asked before cutting anything. I wouldn’t cut that hitch down. The BulletProof shanks are solid steel, but they’re engineered as a system, and taking 3 inches off the bottom changes how the load is distributed and removes part of the structure that’s helping carry that rating. Once you cut it, you’ve basically voided the rating and there’s no good way to know what it’s actually safe anymore. It would just be too risky. Not to mention your...

  • Does Ball Mount with 8 inch Rise Cause Reduction in Hitch Capacity
    Hey Ely, a ball mount with a rise of 8 inches like the adjustable BulletProof Ball Mount part # MD206 would not reduce the capacity of the hitch it is installed in. While it does seem like it would add leverage it's not a significant enough amount to cause problems. This ball mount has a 2 inch and a 2-5/16 inch ball.

  • Recommended Torsion Axle Lift Kit for a 2014 Lance 1575 w/ a # 10 Torsion Axle
    Hey Stuart! Your 2014 Lance 1575 most likely has a # 10 Dexter Torflex 3,500 lbs axle, which means you'll need the Torflex Lift Kit item # K71-707-01. This will provide you with 2-5/8" of lift and is the tallest one we have. I can't say for sure without seeing your axle tag you have a # 10 but the bolts that mount the axle to your frame will be 8" center to center if this is what you have. If you have something different please let me know and I will help you find the correct kit. Please...

  • What is Actual Rise & Drop of BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount MD206
    Hey Ryoji, Good question, and technically both are correct measurements for the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch # MD206. We just have different ways of measuring rise and drop; BulletProof Hitches measures from the ground to the bottom of the hitch receiver tube while we measure from the ground to the top of the receiver tube. That's why there's a 2" difference between our 8" drop/rise measurements and their 6" drop/rise measurements for the # MD206.

    Great question Luke! These are all great options, but let me point out a few differences for you. The etrailer Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # e66PR is a good quality, affordable option compared to similar options like the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount # MD206. They both have a matte black finish and have a 2" and 2-5/16" ball, but I think the that the corrosion resistance of the black nickel hitch ball and hardware and solid feel of the etraler ball mount make it stand out for the price....

  • Reason Why BulletProof Hitches Ball Mount Measurements Differ From etrailer Measurements
    You 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....

    According 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...

  • In Need Of A 2-5/16" Hitch Ball For A 2006 Toyota Tundra
    I 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.

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...

  • Should I Choose the BulletProof MD206 or MD256 for My 2018 Ram Power Wagon?
    Hello Tony, Welcome to etrailer, I'm glad you found us!! Since your 2018 Ram Power Wagon has a 2-1/2" receiver, you will want the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount for a 2-1/2" Hitch # MD256. The # MD206 is designed for a 2" receiver, so it would require a reducer sleeve to fit your truck. One of the nice things about going with the # MD256 is that the 2-1/2" shank fits your receiver directly. That eliminates the extra play you can get when using a reducer sleeve, giving you a more solid...

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...

  • Recommended Ball Mount for a 2017 Ram 1500
    In 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.
