BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty Receiver Shackle

 

The BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty Receiver Shackle is designed for customers who want a strong receiver-mounted attachment point for recovery, utility, and pulling situations. Built for compatible hitch receivers, this shackle gives trucks, SUVs, work vehicles, trail builds, and tow rigs a dedicated rear connection point for ropes, straps, and chains. It is a practical upgrade for customers who want a safer and more organized alternative to pulling from a hitch ball or improvised rear attachment point.

The Heavy Duty Receiver Shackle uses a solid steel shank that slides directly into the vehicle's receiver hitch. This creates a centered rear attachment point that is easy to reach when recovery or utility pulling support is needed. For customers who use their vehicle for off-road travel, worksite support, farm use, trailer recovery, or emergency preparedness, the receiver-mounted design helps keep the setup simple and dependable.

A rugged 1 inch D-ring shackle provides the main connection point for compatible tow straps, recovery straps, kinetic ropes, or chains. The shackle is secured to the solid steel shank with a 1-1/8 inch threaded pin, giving the accessory a strong and straightforward connection design. With a maximum weight capacity up to 22,000 lbs. and a 12.5T working load limit, this receiver shackle is built for customers who need heavy-duty strength without stepping into the larger Extreme Duty version.

The shank includes four pin holes, giving customers more flexibility when positioning the receiver shackle in the hitch. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically, helping the attachment point better match the direction of the rope, strap, or chain being used. The additional positioning also helps customers adjust the shackle location for bumper clearance, receiver depth, aftermarket accessories, or situations where a slightly extended connection point is helpful.

The black textured powder coat finish gives the receiver shackle a clean, rugged appearance while helping it match common towing and recovery hardware. The accessory includes a 5/8 inch receiver pin and R-clip for securing the shank in the receiver, keeping setup straightforward when the shackle is needed. When the vehicle returns to normal driving or towing use, the receiver shackle can be removed and stored until the next recovery or utility situation.

The BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty Receiver Shackle is a strong choice for customers who want their truck or SUV prepared for real-world pulling needs without permanently modifying the vehicle. It supports a cleaner recovery setup for work trucks, lifted trucks, farm vehicles, off-road builds, tow rigs, and daily drivers that need dependable rear utility. Whether customers are upgrading for off-road recovery, worksite pulling, farm use, trailer support, emergency preparedness, or heavy-duty utility, the BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty Receiver Shackle delivers a strong receiver-mounted attachment point with flexible positioning and dependable strength.
