BulletProof Hitches 2.5" Heavy Duty 10" Drop or Rise Adjustable Ball Mount Hitch

The BulletProof Hitches 2.5" Heavy Duty 10" Drop or Rise Hitch is a Class 5 adjustable ball mount rated for 22,000 lb towing capacity and 3,000 lb tongue weight, with six selectable ride heights that hold the same rated capacity whether the shank is run in the drop or rise position. The hitch ships with a dual-ball head (2" and 2-5/16") and two corrosion-resistant pins with R-clips included.

Adjustable Height Without Sacrificing Capacity

Six ride-height positions let drivers dial in level towing across different tow vehicles and trailers without swapping shanks or buying separate inserts. The 22,000 lb towing capacity and 3,000 lb tongue weight rating carry through every position, drop or rise, so there is no penalty for adjusting the hitch to suit a lifted truck or a lower receiver height. That flexibility matters on a rig that tows different trailers or gets used by more than one driver.

Dual-Ball Head Included

The included dual-ball head covers both the 2" and 2-5/16" ball sizes that account for the majority of trailer couplers, so most drivers will not need a separate ball mount or adapter. Two corrosion-resistant pins and R-clips secure the head and are included in the box.

SAE-J684 Tested and BulletProof Accessories Compatible

The HD2510 exceeds SAE-J684 testing requirements, the industry standard for trailer hitches and couplings. The shank is also compatible with the full BulletProof Hitches accessory line, so add-on receivers, bike racks, cargo carriers and other BulletProof-compatible attachments mount directly without an adapter.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The BulletProof 2.5" Heavy Duty 10" Drop or Rise Hitch suits drivers with a 2.5" receiver who need a 10" drop or rise to achieve level towing, particularly those towing heavy loads up to 22,000 lb where a Class 5 rating is required. The adjustable ride height and included dual-ball head make it practical for tow vehicles used across multiple trailer types.

This hitch requires a 2.5" receiver opening; it does not fit standard 2" receivers. Vehicle-specific receiver compatibility and whether a 10" drop or rise is the correct offset for a given tow vehicle and trailer combination are the buyer's responsibility to confirm before purchase.

Common Questions

Does this hitch work in both drop and rise configurations?

Yes. The BulletProof 2.5" Heavy Duty 10" Drop or Rise Hitch can be installed in either the drop or the rise position, and the full 22,000 lb towing capacity and 3,000 lb tongue weight rating apply in both orientations.

What receiver size does this hitch require?

The HD2510 has a 2.5" shank and requires a 2.5" receiver opening. It is not compatible with the more common 2" receiver size.

Is a ball mount included, or do I need to buy one separately?

A dual-ball head with both a 2" and a 2-5/16" ball is included with the BulletProof 2.5" Heavy Duty 10" Drop or Rise Hitch, along with two corrosion-resistant pins and R-clips to secure it.

Is there a California Proposition 65 warning for this product?

Yes. The BulletProof 2.5" Heavy Duty 10" Drop or Rise Hitch carries a California Proposition 65 warning: this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm.
