BulletProof Hitches 2.0 Aluminum Medium Duty 2-Inch Drop Rise Hitch

The BulletProof Hitches 2.0 Aluminum Medium Duty Hitch is a Class IV ball-mount hitch built from 6061-T6 aluminum with a 2-inch shank, rated for 14,000 lbs. of towing capacity and 2,000 lbs. of tongue weight. It is designed for 2-inch receiver tubes on vehicles with a receiver height of 16 to 17 inches (ground to the bottom of the receiver tube) and ships with a dual 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch ball, two corrosion-resistant pins, and R-clips included.

Aluminum Construction Without the Weight Penalty

The hitch body is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, a structural alloy that carries the same Class IV load ratings as comparable steel ball mounts at a fraction of the weight. For daily drivers and work trucks that pull frequently, a lighter hitch reduces the unsprung load on the receiver and makes swapping between hitches faster. The polished finish is inherent to the aluminum surface rather than a coating, so there is no paint or plating to chip, flake, or rust over time.

Five Levels of Drop or Rise Adjustment

The hitch offers five adjustment positions in 1-inch increments, letting the operator dial in a level tow ball height for the specific trailer being pulled. Towing level reduces trailer sway, distributes tongue weight correctly across the hitch, and reduces wear on the coupler. The same hitch body works as either a drop or a rise, so one unit covers a range of trailer coupler heights without buying separate hardware.

Dual Ball Included and Ready to Use

A dual 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch ball comes standard, covering the two most common coupler sizes for travel trailers, boat trailers, and utility trailers. Two corrosion-resistant pins and R-clips are included to secure the ball in position. No separate ball purchase is required before the first tow.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This hitch suits drivers who tow trailers up to 14,000 lbs. with a 2-inch receiver and a receiver height between 16 and 17 inches, and who want a lighter aluminum alternative to steel ball mounts without sacrificing Class IV capacity. The included dual ball covers the two most common coupler sizes, making it a ready-to-tow solution for boat, utility, and travel trailer applications.

This hitch does not fit receivers outside the 16-to-17-inch ground-to-receiver height range, and it is not compatible with 1-1/4-inch receiver tubes. It is not rated for loads exceeding 14,000 lbs. towing capacity or 2,000 lbs. tongue weight.

Common Questions

Does this hitch include a ball, or do I need to buy one separately?

The BulletProof Hitches 2.0 Aluminum Medium Duty Hitch ships with a dual 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch ball already included, along with two corrosion-resistant pins and R-clips. No separate ball purchase is needed before towing.

How do I know if this hitch will give me a level tow?

This hitch offers five adjustment positions in 1-inch increments and can be configured as either a drop or a rise. Measure the height of your trailer coupler and the height of your vehicle's receiver tube, then select the position that brings the ball closest to the coupler height for a level tow.

Will aluminum hold up to the same loads as a steel hitch?

The BulletProof Hitches 2.0 Aluminum Medium Duty Hitch is rated Class IV at 14,000 lbs. towing capacity and 2,000 lbs. tongue weight, the same ratings as comparable steel ball mounts in this class. The 6061-T6 alloy is machined to tight tolerances to achieve those ratings at lower weight.

Is this hitch compatible with my vehicle's 2-inch receiver?

This hitch uses a 2-inch shank and fits any standard 2-inch receiver tube. It is designed for vehicles with a receiver height of 16 to 17 inches measured from the ground to the bottom of the receiver tube. It does not fit 1-1/4-inch receivers.

Does the polished aluminum finish require maintenance to prevent corrosion?

The BulletProof Hitches 2.0 Aluminum Medium Duty Hitch is built from 6061-T6 aluminum with a polished finish. Aluminum does not rust, and the polished surface carries no paint or plating that can chip or flake. The included pins are also corrosion-resistant.
