Ball Mounts from BulletProof Hitch™
BulletProof Hitch™ offers adjustable trailer hitches for every vehicle and a full line of towing accessories for all your towing needs.
New trucks are capable of towing 30,000+ pounds. This consistent increase in towing capability pushed the need for us to create a trailer hitch that could match and/or exceed the tow rating of new trucks in addition to providing the versatility necessary to tow multiple trailers at different ride heights. The Bulletproof Hitches solution to this ongoing issue was to create the ultimate trailer hitch to surpass anything the industry had seen before.
Ten requirements were put in place to create the “perfect hitch” –
- Gross trailer weight rating of 36,000 pounds trailer weight and 6,000 pounds tongue weight.
- Height adjustment in less than 20 seconds.
- Ball size adjustment is less than 20 seconds.
- The ability to utilize a wide variety of attachments allowing you to tow any trailer!
- The highest achievable quality possible.
- Fully welded components that are free of any welding defects.
- Precision fit and finish for near-perfect receiver connection that is noise-free.
- It needed to look good. We wanted it to complement our vehicles, not be an eyesore.
- A no hassle lifetime construction warranty that is second to none, backed by an incredible support team to help with anything.
- A Solid Steel receiver shank that would fill the entire receiver.
BulletProof Hitch™ designed a Heavy Duty Adjustable Trailer Hitch to exceed all of these requirements for years to come.
The BulletProof Hitch™ allows any vehicle to tow any trailer at the correct level, increasing your stability and safety while maintaining even tire wear. The BulletProof Hitch™ features high-quality steel construction. Adjustable channel holes are laser cut for extreme precision, ensuring that when you go to change your ball height, the pin does not get stuck. Behind that channel is a half-inch steel plate gusset to reinforce the hitch itself, similar to the plate used to armor military vehicles. The combination of these unique features allows our hitch to have a superior weight rating of up to 36,000lbs. The edges of the solid steel bar are CNC-chamfered for both looks and functionality, making it easy to install and remove the hitch from any receiver. The BulletProof Hitch™ features a high-quality marine-grade powder-coat process that can take years of abuse.
BulletProof Hitch™ 5/8″ Corrosion Resistant Pins are machined from high tensile steel, heat-treated for extreme external hardness, coated with high-quality zinc, and finally an electroless nickel undercoat for superior corrosion protection. With a large easy to grip handle, they are easy to remove even when wearing gloves.
The BulletProof Dual Ball is a combination of a 2″ ball rated to 12,000 lbs and a 2-5/16″ ball rated up-to 36,000 lbs., Allowing you to fully utilize the load capacity of your truck and trailer. The BulletProof Hitch™ is also available with a wide range of attachments such as a pintle attachment, recovery shackles, clevis, and loops.
After they caught someone trying to steal their new product, BulletProof Hitches designed the ultimate Locking Pin to compliment the BulletProof Hitch™. With a complete stainless steel design and heavy-duty rubber cap, it is the strongest and best quality lock on the market.
