BulletProof Hitches 3.0" Extreme Duty 6" Drop/Rise Class 5 Tow Hitch

The BulletProof Hitches 3.0" Extreme Duty 6" Drop/Rise Hitch is a Class 5 adjustable tow hitch rated for up to 36,000 lb towing capacity and 6,000 lb tongue weight, built around a 3.0" shank with four selectable ride heights that accommodate either a 6" drop or a 6" rise depending on your tow vehicle and trailer combination.

SAE-J684 Tested and Exceeded

The BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty hitch has been extensively tested and exceeds SAE-J684 requirements, the industry standard governing the strength, performance, and safety of towing hitches. For a buyer hauling heavy trailers, that independent benchmark means the hitch has been validated against a defined test protocol, not just assigned a number.

Four Adjustable Ride Heights

The Extreme Duty hitch offers four selectable ride heights, letting you dial in the correct drop or rise for your specific tow vehicle and trailer tongue height without swapping hardware. A properly leveled trailer distributes weight correctly across all axles, reduces sway, and protects both the trailer frame and the tow vehicle's suspension over long hauls.

Dual Ball and Corrosion-Resistant Retention Hardware Included

The hitch ships with an adjustable dual ball accommodating both 2" and 2-5/16" ball sizes, so you can switch between trailer types without carrying a second ball mount. Two corrosion-resistant pins and R-clips are included to secure the dual ball, reducing the number of separate parts to source before your first tow.
