Bulletproof Hitches drop and rise drawbars: ADJUSTABLE & up to 30,000 lbs capacity.
 
I ran across their ad in a magazine, and figured I would share here since over the years a lot of folks have asked for such.
I'm not endorsing their product myself, as I have no experience, but they do have some solid endorsements around the industry.

They have a lot of products including 2", 2.5" and 3" drawbars.

Truthfully, I am not a fan of adjustable hitches because they always look to be made like crap and I can't stand the wiggle they have between all of the components. But this appears to be a nice setup. They also have an innovative setup for turning it into a Pintle hitch as well.

I have been using these hitch "silencers" for a few years now, and am a fan. I actually hate towing without one.

Coupling these two products seems like a winner for a solid, strong, adjustable hitch setup.

Happy & Safe Towing!

Looks like a great product,..........however,.........I agree with sydwayz..Wiggle and wobble drives me nuts. When you think your truck is being "handled" by your trailer check your hitch setup. Any tiny loose clearance in your hitch will transmit to the back of your seat! The tighter your setup, the better the ride. I left San Diego a few years ago with my 382 hauling to florida with a brand new 2012 F-350. By the time i got to houston I had enough wham wham jiggle jiggle. Pulled into a hitch weld shop in the rain, dropped the platform hitch and had it gusseted. The factory 2.5'' hitch has just enough twist that the flex made a miserable ride. Stiffened it up and away I went. No more slop. I even once 5200 my slide in to stop wiggle, worked great. Took a little heat to get it out...ha.

I run one similar to this, works great......just make sure your hitch is up to it.... I upgraded from class 3 to a 6

Then I think your truck is way to high , thats an accident waiting to happen .

If your towing with a 650 Ford or a Freightliner you'll be in the market for one. And its nice to see someone is making a strong piece

This is the brand I use. My RAM has a 2-1/2" receiver and truck is stock height. Very few trailers other than my boat trailer take a level ball height with this truck and very few options for an adjustable height insert with the 2-1/2" receiver. Gen Y brand is sweet and well built, but the thing weighs a ton and kinda sucks taking on and off.

I like the shackle attachment that they make. That would make for a nice hitch for the truck pulls (please excuse my inner redneck!).

as the owner of a lifted truck, you have to have a drop hitch. Take notice of the large gusset on the one shown above. that adds the strength.
