  • The Synthetic Soft Shackle changes the equation. Made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) — the same fiber used in bulletproof vests — these shackles deliver 33,000 lbs of break strength at a fraction of the weight of steel. The vibrant orange fiber with black protective sleeves is easy to spot in mud, snow, or low light — you’ll never lose track of your connection points during a recovery. The infinite knot design means no pins to lose, no threads to seize, and no metal projectile if a recovery goes wrong.
  • The included protective sleeves prevent abrasion on vehicle recovery points, and the UV-resistant, waterproof construction won’t rust, corrode, or degrade in mud and water. At under a pound each, you can toss these in your recovery bag and forget they’re there — until you need them. For Jeeps, trucks, and ATVs where weight matters and safety is non-negotiable, soft shackles are the modern recovery standard.
  • Size: 1/2"Diameter x 22"Length
  • Compatibility: Designed for truck, Jeep &ATV recovery applications.
  • Use Case: Safer and lighter than traditional metal D-ring shackles.
  • Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene — the same material in marine mooring lines and ballistic armor. Lighter than steel, stronger than steel by weight, and won’t rust. Each shackle is rated for 33,000 lbs.
  • A recovery strap or rope breaks, a metal shackle becomes a 2-pound projectile. A soft shackle weighs ounces and won’t cause the same damage. No metal pins to shear, no threads to strip — just fiber that either holds or breaks safely.
  • No Hardware to Lose The closed-loop knot design secures without pins, latches, or tools. Pass the loop end through the recovery point, thread the knotted end through the loop, pull tight — done. Faster than a screw pin shackle, with nothing to drop in the mud. The bright orange fiber is always visible in low light.
  • Unlike steel, these shackles float. They won’t rust, corrode, or absorb water. Mud rinses off. Sun doesn’t degrade the fiber. Store them wet if you have to — they don’t care.

Every hitch component is crafted from high-grade, premium materials and engineered to meet rigorous industry towing safety standards. Our weight and break strength ratings are backed by extensive laboratory load testing to ensure reliable, heavy-duty performance under real-world conditions. Every structural component undergoes strict, multi-stage quality control before leaving our facility to guarantee maximum safety and peace of mind on the road.

Q: Are soft shackles really as strong as steel shackles?

A: Pound for pound, UHMWPE is stronger than steel. Our soft shackles are rated at 33,000 lbs — comparable to many steel shackles in the same price range. The key difference: if overloaded, a steel shackle can deform or shatter;a soft shackle will break more gradually and with far less dangerous recoil.

Q: How do I use the infinite knot?

A: Pass the loop end of the shackle through your vehicle’s recovery point, then thread the knotted end completely through the loop opening. Pull the shackle tight until the loop cinches firmly behind the knot. It creates a rock-solid, tool-free connection in seconds — and releases just as fast when the recovery is done.

Q: Will the protective sleeve wear out?

A: Yes, the sleeve is a wear item designed to protect the underlying fiber. Replace it when you see significant fraying or thinning. The sleeve is cheap insurance — don’t run the shackle without it against metal edges.

Q: Can I use soft shackles with a kinetic rope?

A: Yes — soft shackles pair perfectly with kinetic ropes. The smooth fiber-on-fiber connection won’t abrade either component. Combined with a kinetic rope, you have a recovery setup that’s lighter, safer, and quieter than an all-steel rig.

Q: Need a kinetic rope or hitch receiver to complete your recovery setup?

A: Pair these shackles with our 1"x 30ft kinetic recovery rope for the ultimate lightweight recovery kit. Add a 70,000 lbs D-ring hitch receiver for your truck-side anchor.

Running between three rig sites every week, was burning through DEF in about 2 weeks. Getting 6 weeks per jug now. Regen lockouts used to cost me half a day in the field, that's done with.

Got four trucks on the ranch, did this one first to see how it'd go. Eight months in, no codes, pulls hay like she's new again. Other three are getting done before winter.

Towing the boat down to the Keys used to kill me at 11 mpg. Got 15.4 last trip, same boat, same route. Pipe looks stock from the outside, none of my buddies even noticed it's gone.

Hauled my horses from Fort Worth up to Amarillo last month, got 17.8 empty on the way back. Was running around 13 before. Pulls a lot better up the grades too, didn't expect that part.

Used to go into regen every 280 miles when I was loaded down, now I'm pushing 580 with no regen at all. EGTs run way cooler too pulling the skid steer. Wish I had done this sooner, honestly.

Bought it used and the previous guy had wiped the delete history clean. Got everything put back the right way, ran the protocol, passed smog first try. Truck finally drives like it should.

Got questions?

The stuff that keeps you up at night before you commit. Answered in plain talk by guys who actually wrench on these trucks.

A full mandrel-bent stainless DPF and CAT delete pipe, EGR block-off plates and gaskets, DEF delete components, all mounting hardware and clamps, and your preloaded tuner with the custom tune for your VIN. We don't ship anything you don't need, and we don't leave anything out that you do.

No. The custom tune disables the codes the deleted hardware would otherwise throw. Dash stays clean. If a real fault code pops up after install, call our line and a tech walks you through it. Usually it's a sensor that got unplugged during the wrench work, takes 5 minutes to sort out.

We pull your VIN before we ship. Engine, year, trim, cab config, all verified against the kit. If it doesn't fit your truck, you send it back and we either ship the right kit or refund you in full. Fitment is on us, not you. That's why we call it a fitment guarantee.

Most of our customers do. Average install is 2 to 4 hours with basic hand tools, sockets, ratchet, jack stands. You'll get the step-by-step install video emailed after purchase and a 24/7 phone line if you get stuck. If you can change your own oil, you can run our protocol.

Real custom files. Built in-house by guys who've been turning wrenches and writing tunes on Cummins, Duramax, and Powerstroke platforms for years. Every tune is dialed to your year, your engine, and how you actually drive the truck. No outsourced generic tunes pulled off a shared drive.

Once we've got the base files for your platform, dialing it in for your specific truck takes about 20 minutes. Charging $300 for that didn't sit right with us. We'd rather give you the better experience and earn the call when your buddy's truck needs help.

You call us. Real diesel techs, US-based, picking up the phone. We help with install troubleshooting, tune adjustments, fitment issues, codes, anything. We don't disappear after the sale, and the line doesn't go to voicemail. Phone number is at the bottom of every email and on every page of this site.

Yes. The custom tune is reversible, flash the stock file back through your tuner and the truck reads as factory again. The only thing that's permanent is the deleted hardware itself, but most buyers in the diesel community see a properly executed delete as a value-add, not a deduction. We can also ship the OEM-style reverse plates if you want to put the factory exhaust back on for resale.

Lifetime warranty on the stainless delete pipe, no rust-through, no cracks, ever. 2-year warranty on the EGR delete plates, gaskets, and hardware. If anything fails, we ship a replacement same day. The tuner itself carries the manufacturer warranty through EZ Lynk or HP Tuners.

Orders ship from Fort Worth within 1 to 2 business days. Free express shipping anywhere in the lower 48. Most orders land in 3 to 5 days. You'll get tracking the second it leaves the shop.
