It ships at 70 lb and fits only 3-inch receiver tubes; verify your receiver opening before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e18 Inches of Adjustment for Lifted Rigs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrucks lifted high enough to run 40-inch tires or larger typically cannot tow level with a standard hitch: the coupler sits too low relative to the hitch ball. The 18-inch drop\/rise range on this hitch closes that gap, and 10 selectable ride heights let you dial in a level connection for trailers of different coupler heights without swapping hitches. Towing level distributes trailer weight correctly across axles and reduces sway, which matters most when the load is heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e22,000 lb Rating with a Dual-Ball Head\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 22,000 lb gross trailer weight and 3,000 lb tongue weight ratings apply in both drop and rise positions, so the hitch does not lose capacity when flipped. The included dual-ball head carries a 2-inch and a 2-5\/16-inch ball on a single mount. Switching between them takes less than 10 seconds: pull the included 5\/8\" corrosion-resistant pins and R-clips, rotate the head, and re-pin. No tools required. The hitch exceeds SAE-J684 testing requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible with the Full BulletProof Hitches Accessory Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3.0\" shank accepts the complete range of BulletProof Hitches bolt-on accessories, including the Pintle Attachment (for pintle-ring trailers using the 2-5\/16\" ball), the Step Attachment (for reaching into a lifted truck bed), Clevis Attachments for farm towing, and Frame-Mounted Stabilizer Bars that eliminate receiver slop and wobble.
