The BulletProof 2.5” Heavy Duty 18” Drop/Rise Hitch is THE ultimate choice for your lifted truck! Rated for towing up to 22,000 pounds trailer weight and 3,000 tongue weight in either the drop or the rise, this hitch can pull whatever you need it to. Whether you are towing your boat for a day on the water, taking your RV off the beaten path or need to get a skid steer to the job site, your BulletProof Hitch is ready to tackle any job.

With 10 ride heights, you can rest assured that you will be towing level even if you are riding on 40s (or larger)! Our hitch comes standard with a 2” & 2-5/16” Dual Ball that can be adjusted in less than 10 seconds by simply removing the included 5/8” Corrosion Resistant Pins and R-Clips.

Our full line of compatible accessories ensures you are ready for any towing situation. Our Pintle Attachment allows you to tow your pintle trailer with your 2-5/16” Ball; our Step Attachment is a great choice for reaching into the bed of your truck now that it is lifted to the sky! Farm towing is no issue when you use one of our Clevis Attachments.

For a hitch this robust, add the BulletProof Hitches Frame-Mounted Stabilizer Bars to really make a statement. Another great benefit of adding our stabilizer bars is they can be tightened to eliminate any slop or wobble for a solid connection.

When it comes to keeping your hitch secured onto your truck, we recommend using one of our BulletProof Locking Pins which are rated for the same high weight capacity as our hitch. Please note, the hitch does not include the pin needed for the receiver of your truck.

All BulletProof Hitches® feature a durable corrosion-resistant powder coat. This process starts with an aggressive sandblast to remove all impurities and create a clean surface for the powder coat. After the sandblast process, the hitch moves through a 5-stage pretreatment wash to remove any oil or residue. The metal itself is then sealed to eliminate the possibility of corrosion. The final step is an application of our signature black textured powder coat, which is applied by a Fanuc robot to ensure consistent thickness across the hitch.

The components of the BulletProof Hitch® are machined on our state-of-the-art Haas CNC machines. These CNC machines use Renishaw probes, allowing us to manufacture all of our parts to an extremely tight tolerance. This primarily ensures that each hitch and ball combination fit together without slop or excess movement when attached to your vehicle.
