Can I Use My BulletProof Hitch in the Rise Position?
When it comes to buying a hitch for your vehicle, it’s crucial to choose one that can meet all of your towing needs. That’s why one of the most frequent questions we receive at BulletProof Hitches is about whether or not our products can also be used in the rise position. Unlike many other ball hitches on the market, the correct answer is yes! Understanding the Need for the Rise Position When Towing One of the first rules of towing is that your trailer and vehicle must remain level at all times—that’s where an adjustable ball hitch comes in handy....
Understanding the Benefits of Using a Shackle on Your Truck
Imagine for a moment that you’re driving through some rough terrain, and your vehicle gets stuck. You try to force it back out, but nothing’s working—you’ll quickly realize you’re probably going to need a tow. The question is, however, what’s the safest way of using your tow system to recover a stuck vehicle (or any other pulling project you might need to do?) The correct answer is with a high-grade, solid steel towing shackle. At Bulletproof Hitches, we’ve heard too many horror stories about the dangers of pulling without a proper shackle. If you’re trying to decide whether investing in a shackle is the...

If you endorse the DIY ethos, congratulations. You are self-reliant and possibly even self-sufficient to a large degree. Trailers make DIY projects that much easier.

Should I Use a Reducer Sleeve in my Receiver While Towing?
With great decisions comes great responsibility... At least we like to think so. When it comes to measuring for your trailer hitch, not every measuring guide is the same. We get it, not every hitch is made the same and even worse yet, not every receiver is the same size. We understand that some of our customers have more than one truck that they use on a regular basis. Because of this some people may run into the following issues. First they may only need one hitch because they're only going to be using one truck at a time. This...
Towing with a Lifted Truck
Lifted trucks are continually gaining popularity amongst drivers across the country. Whether you’re a frequent participant at truck shows or you’re an avid off-roader, having a lifted truck is an American tradition that has quickly spread across our nation. With that in mind, however, truck drivers should still consider the practical needs of their vehicle. Stock trucks that come straight from the factory have been rigorously tested to ensure their towing capacities and vehicle handling for the specific reason of towing trailers. Many truck owners that use their trucks on a daily basis for towing, don't see the reason to...
