Specs:
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.
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.
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 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.
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. The nickel undercoat with zinc topcoat provides corrosion resistance and ensures the strength of the pin.
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.
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.

Hi, I'm Matt with etrailer, and today we're talking about our BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount that's gonna work with the 2.5" hitch. And today we have the 9" rise and the 13" rise version, so let's check 'em out. These are gonna be a great option if you are looking for something that's gonna be able to help you accommodate for different size trailers. Maybe you're hauling with multiple different types, one day you have a utility, the next day you have a horse, or maybe one day you're hauling a boat, and, or, if you have a different vehicle each time you're doing it, this is gonna be able to really level out the rise and drops we have. You wanna make sure you are accommodating for your rise and drop, because if you have something that is a lot higher or lower than your hitch receiver, trying to connect them is gonna give you an uneven, it's not gonna make things level. But this is designed to help keep things level, and the way you do that is, you're gonna actually raise where this ball mount sits, and we're gonna do that just by removing these pins and clips.
I'll recommend keeping a hand on it too, because as you can see right here, once it fall down, you can actually bring this up in this channel, and if you see these different holes, these holes are gonna be in different spots where you can mount this to, to accommodate for different drops or rises. The configuration it's in right now is meant that it'd be if you need any drop to whatever you're hauling. Now, if you need a rise, you're gonna have to flip it around, and to do that we're just gonna remove this hitch pin. Now, this isn't gonna come with one, so if you have one already, you should be set. If you don't, you can find one of those on our website.
And I will say, this thing is pretty heavy, so definitely keep that in mind. And when you're working with it, I like to rest it on my knee for a second just to help line things up. And if you'll notice, too, we have these two holes, and what those two holes are meant for is to bring it either closer or further away from your vehicle, and that's just gonna depend on what your needs are. And I'm just gonna push this in, line everything up, and secure it down. But now as you can see, we have a rise.
And you'll also be able to flip your balls round. Now with the one we have at top, that's gonna be our 2-5/16" ball mount, and that's gonna be capable of towing up to 36,000 pounds. If I flip this around, so the two inch ball is on top, give you a better visual of that, I'll just remove those pins, flip it around, put it back in place. And this is gonna have a weight capacity up to 12,000 pounds. Now, this powdered coat can be kind of thick, so getting these pins back through here can be difficult sometimes, but usually when you get the first one on, it's a lot easier.
And then we're also gonna have a max tongue weight of 6,000 pounds. So really the difference between your towing and your tongue weight is gonna be which direction it's going. So with your tongue weight, that's gonna be the pressure that's being applied downwards, and your towing weight is what you're gonna be pulling behind your trailer. We're gonna get a few measurements on how this is gonna sit on the back of your vehicle. So the way you can measure this is, where I go from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the ball mount, I can get that total measurement of this, and that's gonna be about 17.5". So no matter what vehicle you have, that's how far it's gonna stick out. Now, we have this on the furthest hole. So like I showed you earlier, we have two holes, if I push this into that second hole, it's gonna be a little bit closer, so that's gonna shave off an inch. Now, talk about saving you space, you can remove the second ball, or this ball that we have on the back, and if you do that, going from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of that channel is gonna be about 13 inches. And again, the same thing's gonna apply if you have it on that second hole, it's gonna be 12 inches instead. And this is gonna be very sturdy, it's gonna be made out of a very durable steel, it especially needs to be that durable since we are carrying such heavy weights. Now, it's also important to note, we are hauling with this, definitely double check what your hitch is rated for, and what your truck truck is rated for, so you don't overload it. And we're gonna have this black powder coat finish to it, and that's gonna prevent any weather damage or this from rusting over time, so it lasts you longer too. And the pins are gonna be made out of a heat-treated steel, they're also gonna have this nickel undercoating and the zinc top coating. And what all that means is, that steel is gonna make these very durable to handle those high weights, and that coating is also gonna help it be more weather resistant too. Now, we are using this, I recommend using this ball grease so you can grease these balls, because when you're constantly using this, this is gonna have a lot of abrasion or force being applied to it, so that grease is gonna help this last a lot longer. Overall, I think this is a great option, especially if you do find yourself hauling in a lot of different types of trailers, or you're using a different truck every now and then. Now, if you're looking for something a little bit more premium that might look a little bit nicer on the back of your vehicle, then I'd recommend B&W Tow & Stow Ball Mounts, because what that's gonna do is allow you to stow the ball mounts behind the actual housing, so it looks a little bit more cleaner when you're not hauling anything. But, if you're looking for something that's gonna have those high weight capacities, and be a little bit more bulky and a little bit more simple to use, then I think this is a really great option for you. Well, that was just our look at the BulletProof Hitches Ball Mount, thanks for watching.

The thick channel plates and welded gusset on this solid steel ball mount make it perfect for heavy-duty use. Tow up to 12K with the 2" ball or 36K with the 2-5/16" ball. Adjustable design lets you tow trailers of various heights.Beyond expectations. People come by complimenting on my hitch and asking where I bought it. I did not realize other hitches break. Well, this one won't break
This thing is bulletproof. Lol
There's all kinds of things that can and we'll fail when towing but I'll bet this hitch is not one of them. One less thing to worry about. Love it.
It is a great HD hitch. No complaints.
Very well made. I needed the 2.5 for my dually. It feels as heavy as the bumper. Lol I won’t have to worry about it ever failing when I’m towing.
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.
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.
it is perfect,no deflection whats so ever, use it on various height trailers,easely adjustable,i am happy with it.
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.
Sent me the wrong hitch. Ordered the 6” drop, received the 4” drop. Hitch itself is ok, powder coating wore off ball and where it goes into receiver on first use.
Awesome product and great price. This Bulletproof hitch is definitely well built. I see no problems ahead with this hitch.
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.
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!
Heavy but does the job for my trailers and trailers I rent for equipment hauling.
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!!!
