Specs:
This adjustable ball mount has a maximum capacity of 22,000 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 22,000 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.
BulletProof Hitches adjustable ball mounts are made in America and rigorously tested for heavy-duty applications. These ball mounts are used and trusted by various United States government organizations, such as the Department of Transportation, Department of Homeland Security, and all branches of the United States military.
To set up this BulletProof Hitches adjustable ball mount, insert the 2" x 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.

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty, Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for a 2" Hitch. Has a drop and a rise and a 22,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now this two ball mount will slide into your 2" hitch receiver. That'll let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. Up front here, the hitch balls will provide the connection points for your trailer coupler.
And if you notice, this has a two ball mount, so it's got two different size hitch balls. Right here we got a 2 5/16 diameter, and if you flip it over you can use the 2" diameter. This will let you tow trailers with different coupler sizes. And what's nice is, to switch the ball you can, all you have to do, is simply remove these two pins, flip the ball over and then reinsert the pins, and you're ready to go. So just to show you what we're talking about, if I go ahead and take the clips out here.
So with both clips out, I remove the pins. Now the pins, they do include two of these 5/8" diameter, corrosion-resistant, hardened steel pins. Features a nickel undercoat and they put a zinc plating on the top coat, that gives you best corrosion-resistance. Take out the other one. And then once we get both of those out, you can see the ball mount will come loose and then all you have to do is flip it around.
We're gonna put it pretty much in the same place but you can adjust it to what height you need. And then just put it back in the channel. Once you get the holes lined up, put the pins back through and then go ahead and clip them. And then once it's clipped in this position. Then you're all ready to go.
And as simple as that is, you now have your smaller ball. So, it's pretty simple to switch between the two balls. It is an adjustable design, provides a nice drop or rise, allows you to tow trailers of different heights, with the same vehicle. So this ball mount would work well with contractors, where they can install it on one truck and use that one truck for different sized trailers. Now you can see this one has a very large rise and drop. So right now it's in the drop position. So if we would put this in the lowest position it would get you a maximum drop of 15, about 15 1/4 inches. If we flip this over and put it in the rise position and then put the ball mount in the tallest position, it would get you a maximum rise of about 15 3/4 inches. So it does give you nine levels of adjustment. It's two inches between each set of adjustment holes. And you just move your ball platform either lower, or raise it, to match your application. It is a heavy duty steel construction. It does use precision CNC milling and drilling. So it gives you less rattle because of the close tolerances. It is a 5/16 thick channel frame, which is strong and durable. If you notice here it has this large 1/2" thick welded gusset plate, that'll brace the shank and the channel. And the hitch balls themselves are welded to the ball platform for extra sturdiness. So because of that solid shank, the gusset plate, the solid dual ball platform, it is built for heavy duty towing. This steel gusset here, what's nice is, it's welded between the shank and the channel, and that'll brace the mount and keep that channel from bending even at maximum dropper rise. Total weight on this whole part is about 51 pounds. Now, one thing I do wanna mention, 'cause of the large gusset on here, you could run into a clearance problem when you install this. So I want to give you a measurement. From this gusset to the first hitch pin hole center, is gonna be 3 1/2 inches. From the gusset to the second hitch pin hole, is about 5 inches. Now this ball mount also has many different dimensions to it, so what I also recommend is for you to go to the product page of this part number and on that product page, you'll have a picture of this and then it has all the dimensions on it. So you can verify any dimension that you might need for your application. This part as made in the USA with the USA steel. This product is used by the US military, so it does give you a peace-of-mind that the product uses quality materials. The hitch has a nice powder coating on it. It's a textured, heavy duty black finish. This heavy duty finish on the ball mount looks, makes it keep looking like new, instead of all worn and rusty after a short time. Now, when you do install this into your hitch it will require a hitch pinning clip or a hitch lock to secure it to the hitch receiver. Those items are not included. You would have to supply those, or we do sell those separate on our website. A few specs again, this slides into a 2" by 2" trailer receiver. This large drop in rise will, is ideal for vehicles that have a 34" to 36" clearance, from the ground to the bottom of your hitch receiver too. Gross towing weight capacity on this, if it's used with the 2" diameter ball, is 12,000 pounds. If you flip it over and use it with the 2 5/16 ball, 22,000 pounds. Tongue weight capacity of 3000 pounds. And also this is a channel mount design. There are a variety of attachments that are available for this ball mount. So you can use this with a pintle hitch, a shackle hitch, hitch step, there's many items that'll also fit in here, besides the ball mount. We do list those on the product page as related products. But that should do it for the review on the BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for a 2" Hitch, with a drop and a rise and a 22,000 pound gross towing weight capacity..

This is one solid Hitch.
Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
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.
Katrina B - 04/12/2022Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
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.
Colton - 01/16/2022Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
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!
Robert C - 11/13/2021Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
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.
Ed T - 10/04/2021Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I really love my hitch. Just the weight of it is impressive, it is a substantial hitch and has not let me down at all. I leave it on the truck all the time even when not needed for towing just in case someone isn't paying attention, cause it is also a great rear end collision extra "bumper".
Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
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..
Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Hitch is great. Works as it should. As far as bulletproof, I got rear ended by a half ton Chevy. My truck didn’t have a scratch nor did the hitch. The Chevy front bumper could have been used as a mould to make more hitches.
Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
The bulletproof hitch is a really good unit. I have used it now for over two months to pull a sixteen foot cargo trailer using the larger ball. Towed locally and from northern NY to Florida and back, so I'd say at least 5,000 miles. I like the easy to adjust height in order to tow the trailer level. It doesn't seem to cause any clunking because of movement - if that makes sense. I did clear-coat the unit to help it stay looking decent for the long-term and that seems to be working so far. The main piece stays locked in the truck receiver all the time while I remove the double-ball unit when not in use. I would buy this unit again in a heartbeat.
Ronald - 08/02/2022Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
The hitch appears very well built. I'm pulling a 12,000 pound trailer and wanted a hitch with a much greater rating than the trailer weight. This hitch does that in spades.
Kim - 08/15/2022Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Made in USA. Heavy Duty Build. I just wish the tolerances were tighter, like on the height adjustment pins, they are loose which makes a lot of thumping, They do not need to be that sloppy. I will say, this hitch is holding up well. The Ball fell off the "Fastway Flash" hitch I had before, where the ball broke out of the casting.
And, this hitch is not nearly heavy as the "Fastway Flash" hitch.
Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
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!!
Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Hitch has done everything I have asked of it, My trailer is heavy on the front in the 2k-3k range and the hitch has no issues with it. I would buy another with out question. The pintle hitch adapter is next on the list.
joe b - 01/21/2022Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Still functioning and looking as excellent as it did the day it arrived. Well built hitch, truly fits my needs.
Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Powder coating on the 2-1/2" ball didn't even last a 3 foot pull of our trailer. Used the supplied ball grease. the 2" ball powder coating has held up just fine. I love the flexibility in height this hitch gives me, but was really disappointed by the powder coating durability.
Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
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!
Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
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.
Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Awesome product. Wish I knew how to measure what size I needed before I bought it though, I think I may have bought too big of a drop. I have a Ram 2500 w/3" lift and 35" tires. Thought this was right, but, its a little low and I have to be careful pulling out of parking lots and low points.
Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
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.
Jim H - 01/24/2022Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
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.

The BulletProff hitch is exactly as described. High quality, very solid and fits my needs. etrailer's service and online shopping is the best. Great descriptions and excellent video's describe and show their products very well. Fast replies and fast shipping.
Kenneth - 05/04/2022Review from a similar Bullet Proof Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Needed a high quality hitch to haul my new demco Kar Kaddy 2, also an etrailer purchase, that I could adjust to get just the right height with my Rv or suv. This hitch fits the bill. I installed it with the adjustment portion up to accomplish my lack of heights. I also included a photo of the demco Kar Kaddy SS and the rhino racks I got from you. I’m all set to travel now.
