DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- The 38,500 lbs Shackle Receiver delivers professional-grade recovery capability at a price that makes sense for weekend wheelers and occasional off-roaders. Drop-forged steel construction, a 3/4" D-ring with 7/8" pin, and a 5/8" anti-theft lock pin give you everything you need for confident recovery pulls.
- The dual-position mounting holes let you run the D-ring horizontally for straight-line pulls or vertically to clear your bumper — the same flexibility you’d expect from a recovery receiver costing twice as much. The galvanized powder coat finish handles mud and weather without complaint. If you run a Jeep, mid-size truck, or half-ton that sees moderate trail use, this is the recovery receiver sized right for your rig.
Key Features
- Drop-forged steel rated for 38,500 lbs — more than enough for mid-size and half-ton truck recoveries. Provides a 6x+ safety margin on a 6,000 lb vehicle.
- Horizontal or vertical D-ring orientation lets you adapt to the recovery angle. Run it horizontal for straight pulls, vertical when you need the strap to clear your bumper or hitch.
- Lock Includes the shackle receiver, 3/4" D-ring with 7/8" pin, 5/8" anti-theft lock with keys, isolator, R-clip, and rubber washers. Lock it on and leave it — it’ll be there when you need it.
- Galvanized undercoat with powder coat top layer resists rust from mud, water, and road exposure. Trail-tested to survive what the weekend throws at it.
- for Jeeps, Tacomas, Colorados, and half-ton trucks that need reliable recovery points without the weight and cost of ultra-heavy-duty receivers.

FAQ
Q: Is 38,500 lbs enough for my full-size truck?
A: Yes — for recovery use, the rule of thumb is 4x your vehicle weight. A 6,000 lb truck at 38,500 lbs gives you 6.4x safety margin. For dedicated heavy recovery or winching, step up to our 70,000 lbs receiver.
Q: Can I leave this in my receiver full-time?
A: Yes — the anti-theft lock pin keeps it secure. The galvanized/powder coat finish handles daily exposure. Some owners keep it installed as a permanent recovery point.
Q: Will this fit a Jeep Wrangler’s factory receiver?
A: Yes. The 2" shank fits all standard Class III receivers, including the factory receiver on Jeep Wranglers, Gladiators, and most mid-size trucks.
Q: Can I tow a trailer with the D-ring removed?
A: No. This receiver is not designed or rated for ball-mount towing. Use a dedicated ball mount for towing.
Q: Need recovery straps or a kinetic rope for your kit?
A: Complete your recovery setup with our 1" x 30ft kinetic recovery rope for smooth, effective extractions. Add a winch line damper for safe operation during any recovery.
