Question:

I am in need of a 2 receiver hitch with a capacity of at least 10,000 lbs. I would like a hitch with a dimension of a minium of 12 from pin for hitch to C/L of ball for 2,5/16 ball. Do you have a hitch that will work?

Thanks for writing in!

We do not have an etrailer ball mount that gives you the minimum 12" from the hitch pin hole to the centerline of the ball that you are looking for.

You will want the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount # MD204. It fits your 2" receiver, has a 14,000 lb capacity, and includes the 2-5/16" ball you need. As you can see in the attached image, it measures 12-3/8" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the centerline of the ball, so it gives you the clearance you are looking for.

What are you towing that requires the extra clearance?

With the stock suspension height of a 2500HD 4x4, this hitch covers the bases for both of my flatbed trailers. I have a front mount receiver as well, so the ability to put the hitch forward allows me to push my trailers anywhere on my property. A big plus is that I can use it to position my camper by flipping it up. I'm very pleased.
