BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty 2.0" Shank 8" Drop Rise Tow Hitch

The BulletProof Hitches HD208 is a Class 4 adjustable drop/rise hitch with a 2.0" shank, an 8" drop or rise range, a 22,000 lb gross towing capacity, and a 3,000 lb tongue weight capacity. It fits any standard 2" receiver and ships with a dual-ball head (2" and 2-5/16"), two corrosion-resistant pins, and R-clips.

Five Adjustable Ride Heights

The HD208 offers five ride-height positions so the hitch ball sits level with the trailer coupler whether the tow vehicle sits high or low. The shank flips from drop to rise orientation without any loss of rated capacity, so one hitch covers trucks, SUVs, and lifted rigs that would otherwise need separate hardware.

Class 4 Capacity, SAE-J684 Tested

A 22,000 lb gross towing capacity and 3,000 lb tongue weight rating put the HD208 in Class 4 territory, and BulletProof Hitches tests it to exceed SAE-J684 requirements rather than simply meeting them. That margin matters when loads are at the upper end of what the tow vehicle allows, where a hitch that only meets the minimum standard leaves no room for real-world variation in load distribution or road shock.

Dual-Ball Head and Corrosion-Resistant Hardware

The included dual-ball head carries both a 2" and a 2-5/16" ball on a single mount, eliminating the need to swap balls between trailers. Two corrosion-resistant pins and R-clips secure the ball head and the shank; the same pin design is compatible with the full BulletProof Hitches accessory line, so anti-theft locks and other accessories sold separately for that system will fit.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The HD208 suits drivers of trucks, SUVs, or other tow vehicles with a standard 2" receiver who need an 8" height correction (drop or rise) and a Class 4 capacity rating for heavy trailers, fifth-wheel adapters, or gooseneck setups within the stated limits.

The HD208 requires a 2" receiver; it does not fit 1-1/4" or 2-1/2" receivers. Anti-theft locks and additional BulletProof Hitches accessories are sold separately and are not included. 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.

How many height positions does the hitch offer?

The BulletProof HD208 provides five adjustable ride-height positions, allowing the ball height to be matched to the trailer coupler height without swapping hardware.

Is this hitch compatible with BulletProof Hitches accessories?

The HD208 is designed to work with the full BulletProof Hitches accessory line, including anti-theft locks and other add-ons sold separately for that system.
