Product Overview

 

The BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty Receiver Shackle is designed for customers who need a strong rear attachment point for recovery, utility, and heavy-duty pulling situations. Built to fit compatible hitch receivers, this receiver shackle gives trucks, SUVs, work vehicles, off-road builds, and tow rigs a secure place to connect a rope, strap, or chain. It is a practical upgrade for customers who want a stronger and cleaner alternative to improvised recovery points or unsafe hitch-ball pulling setups.

The Extreme Duty design uses a solid steel shank that slides directly into the receiver hitch, creating a dedicated rear connection point at the vehicle. This makes it useful for recovery support, worksite utility, trail use, farm use, and other situations where customers need to attach pulling equipment to the back of the vehicle. The receiver-mounted layout also keeps the attachment point centered and easy to access when a strap, rope, or chain needs to be connected quickly.

A heavy 1-1/4 inch shackle gives the accessory the strength and clearance needed for demanding use. The shackle provides a practical connection point for compatible recovery straps, tow straps, kinetic ropes, and chains when the full recovery setup is properly matched. With a rating up to 36,000 lbs., the Extreme Duty Receiver Shackle is built for customers who want serious strength from their rear receiver recovery accessory.

The shank features four pin hole positions so customers can adjust how the shackle sits in the receiver. It can be positioned horizontally or vertically, and it can be used in extended or recessed positions depending on the bumper, receiver depth, and recovery setup. This flexibility is especially helpful for vehicles with stock bumpers, aftermarket bumpers, deeper receiver openings, or rear accessories that require added clearance.

The textured black powder coat finish gives the receiver shackle a clean, rugged appearance while helping it match BulletProof Hitches and other towing or recovery hardware. The accessory comes with a hardened pin and R-clip for securing it in the receiver, while a locking pin can be used when added theft resistance is desired. The simple removable design makes it easy to install when needed and remove when the vehicle returns to normal driving or towing use.

The BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty Receiver Shackle is a strong choice for customers who want their truck or SUV prepared for recovery and utility use without permanently changing the vehicle. It supports a cleaner, more organized rear recovery setup for off-road travel, jobsite use, work trucks, farm vehicles, lifted trucks, and towing support situations. Whether customers are upgrading for off-road recovery, worksite pulling, trail support, farm use, heavy-duty utility, or emergency preparedness, the BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty Receiver Shackle delivers a serious receiver-mounted attachment point with flexible positioning and extreme-duty strength.
