BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty 2.5" Receiver 10" Drop Rise Hitch

The BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty 10" Drop/Rise Hitch is a Class 5 adjustable hitch for 2.5" receiver tubes, rated for a 36,000 lb maximum towing capacity and 6,000 lb tongue weight capacity. Six selectable ride heights let the same hitch serve a range of tow vehicle and trailer combinations, and the design exceeds SAE-J684 testing requirements.

Six Ride Heights, One Hitch

The Extreme Duty hitch offers six easily adjustable ride heights, so a single unit can level a trailer across different tow vehicles or load conditions without swapping hardware. Dialing in the correct drop or rise keeps the trailer tongue parallel to the ground, which distributes load correctly across the axles and reduces sway. That consistency is a practical advantage when towing heavy equipment, horse trailers, or large recreational loads.

Reinforced Channel Construction

An additional down bar runs between the channel and the gusset, adding structural redundancy at the point where towing loads concentrate. This extra bracing is part of why the hitch exceeds SAE-J684 requirements rather than simply meeting them. SAE-J684 covers strength, fatigue, and corrosion resistance for trailer hitches.

Dual Ball and Corrosion-Resistant Hardware Included

The hitch ships with an adjustable dual ball that covers both the 2" and 2-5/16" ball sizes, along with two corrosion-resistant pins and R-clips to secure it. No separate ball purchase is required for those two coupler sizes. Having both ball sizes on a single adjustable mount removes the need to carry a second ball mount when switching between trailers with different coupler sizes.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty 10" Drop/Rise Hitch suits tow vehicles equipped with a 2.5" receiver tube and operators who need a Class 5-rated hitch with a significant drop or rise to level a trailer. The six adjustable ride heights make it practical for anyone towing different trailers or switching between tow vehicles with different hitch heights.

This hitch requires a 2.5" receiver tube and does not fit the 1.25" or 2" receivers found on most light-duty trucks and SUVs without a separate adapter. Buyers needing a shorter adjustment range than 10" should select a different BulletProof Hitches drop length.

Is this hitch compatible with BulletProof Hitches accessories?
