BulletProof Hitches 2.5" Heavy Duty 20" Drop Rise Adjustable Ball Mount Hitch

The BulletProof Hitches 2.5" Heavy Duty 20" Drop/Rise Hitch is an adjustable ball mount for 2.5" receiver tubes, rated for 22,000 lb gross trailer weight and 3,000 lb tongue weight in both the drop and rise orientations. Eleven selectable ride heights accommodate heavily lifted trucks, and the hitch ships with a dual 2" and 2-5/16" ball already installed. It is sold as a single hitch unit; accessories such as the Pintle Attachment, Step Attachment, Clevis Attachments, and Frame-Mounted Stabilizer Bars are available separately.

20 Inches of Adjustment for Lifted Trucks

A 20" drop/rise range and eleven discrete ride heights mean the hitch can be set to keep a trailer tongue level regardless of how much lift a truck is running. Towing out of level puts uneven load on the trailer frame, hitch ball, and receiver. A 20" adjustment range with eleven positions removes that variable and keeps weight distributed correctly across the connection.

Dual Ball, No Tools Required

The hitch comes standard with a dual ball that covers both the 2" and 2-5/16" ball sizes used by the majority of trailers on the road. Swapping between them takes less than ten seconds: pull the included 5/8" corrosion-resistant pins and R-clips, rotate the ball, and re-pin. No wrenches, no separate ball purchase for most towing situations.

Rated and Tested Beyond SAE-J684

The hitch is rated for 22,000 lb gross trailer weight and 3,000 lb tongue weight, figures that cover heavy fifth-wheel-class loads on a 2.5" receiver. BulletProof Hitches states the product exceeds SAE-J684 testing requirements, the industry standard for receiver-type hitches and ball mounts.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This hitch suits owners of lifted trucks or SUVs with a 2.5" receiver tube who need significant drop or rise to tow level, particularly those running large tires or multi-inch lift kits where standard ball mounts fall short. The included dual ball handles both 2" and 2-5/16" trailer couplers without a separate purchase.

The hitch requires a 2.5" receiver tube; it does not fit the 1.25" or 2" receivers found on most stock or lightly modified vehicles. Verify your vehicle's receiver size before ordering. Pintle towing, step, clevis, and stabilizer bar functions require separate BulletProof Hitches attachments not included with this product. California residents should note the Proposition 65 warning: this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm.

Common Questions

What receiver size does this hitch require?

The BulletProof 2.5" Heavy Duty 20" Drop/Rise Hitch is designed exclusively for 2.5" receiver tubes. It does not fit the 1.25" or 2" receivers found on most stock trucks and SUVs. Verify your vehicle's receiver size before ordering.

Can this hitch be used in the rise position as well as the drop position?

Yes. The 20" Drop/Rise Hitch is rated for 22,000 lb gross trailer weight and 3,000 lb tongue weight in both the drop and the rise orientation, so it works for vehicles that sit lower than the trailer tongue as well as lifted trucks that need a drop.

How do I switch between the 2" and 2-5/16" ball?

The dual ball ships installed on the hitch. To swap ball sizes, remove the included 5/8" corrosion-resistant pins and R-clips, rotate the dual ball to the desired size, and re-insert the pins and clips. No tools are required and the swap takes less than ten seconds.

Does this hitch come with a locking pin?

The BulletProof 2.5" Heavy Duty 20" Drop/Rise Hitch includes 5/8" corrosion-resistant pins and R-clips to secure the dual ball. Whether a locking hitch pin for securing the shank in the receiver is included has not been confirmed; check the product listing or contact TerrainVault before ordering if receiver-lock security is a requirement.

Are the accessory attachments included?

No. The Pintle Attachment, Step Attachment, Clevis Attachments, and Frame-Mounted Stabilizer Bars are all sold separately. The 2.5" Heavy Duty 20" Drop/Rise Hitch is compatible with the full BulletProof Hitches accessory line, but none of those items ship with this hitch.
