Hitch Ball Mount With 8+ Inch Drop For 2" or 2-1/2" Receiver

Question

Question:

I am looking for a trailer hitch to pull an rv. I have a hitch sway bars and all that. The truck I bought is higher and I can’t adjust the ball any lower. What I am looking for is a 2” or 2-1/2” hitch with a 2” square solid that goes down at least 8”

Since you mentioned needing "at least" 8 inches we'll go ahead and be on the safe side and get you a little more, with a hitch ball mount from BulletProof Hitches that gives you a max of 9-1/4" drop. I'll give you the option for one that fits either a 2" or 2-1/2" receiver since you mentioned that as well:

- 2" Receiver: BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount # HD208

- 2-1/2" Receiver: BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount # HD258

Both come with a 2" and 2-5/16" hitch ball that has a 12,000 lb capacity with the 2" ball and 22,000 lb capacity with the 2-5/16" ball. The only other thing you'd need is a lock to secure it to your receiver, the Hitch Lock # e98881.
