- Installation: Includes backer plates for a professional-grade secure installation (drilling may be required).
DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- The D-Ring Shackle Mounts let you add professional-grade recovery anchors anywhere you can drill or weld. Forged from high-tensile steel and rated at 42,000 lbs break strength, these mounts turn your bumper, frame, or tractor bucket into a bombproof recovery point.
- The included heavy-duty backer plates are the difference between a solid mount and a torn bumper. They distribute pulling force across a wide area behind the mounting surface, preventing the bolts from pulling through under extreme loads. The 0.3" thick steel base plate and high-clearance lug ensure rattle-free, dependable connections. The bold red powder coat finish adds visibility and corrosion protection. If your truck didn’t come with recovery points, these are the ones you’ll install.
Key Features
- Forged from high-tensile steel to handle massive recovery forces. The 0.3" thick base plate won’t bend or deform under loads that would fold stamped-steel mounts.
- The included backer plates are the critical difference between a mount that holds and one that tears through your bumper. They spread force across the backside of the mounting surface, preventing the bolts from pulling through under extreme tension.
- Drill and bolt for a clean, reversible installation, or weld for a permanent mount. The thick steel base plate accepts either method. Professional installation recommended for weld-on.
- Galvanized undercoat with red powder coat top layer. The bright red finish isn’t just for looks — it makes your recovery points easy to locate in mud, snow, or low light.

FAQ
Q: Do I need to drill holes in my bumper to install these?
A: For bolt-on installation, yes — you’ll drill holes through the mounting surface and bolt through the backer plate on the other side. If drilling isn’t an option, these can be welded on by a professional fabricator. The bolt-on method is reversible; welding is permanent.
Q: How thick does my bumper need to be for these mounts?
A: The backer plates handle the load distribution — so even thinner factory bumpers can work with proper backing. For off-road bumpers (3/16" or thicker steel), the mounts are a direct fit. For thin factory sheet metal bumpers, consider welding or using a larger backer plate.
Q: Can I mount these on the front and rear?
A: Yes — most owners install one pair on the front bumper and another on the rear for complete recovery coverage. The 2-pack gives you one pair for a single location.
Q: Will the red powder coat hold up on a front-mounted recovery point?
A: The powder coat resists road debris, mud, and weather. The mounting face where shackles connect will show wear — this is cosmetic. The underlying galvanized coating continues to protect against rust.
Q: Need shackles and recovery gear for these mounts?
A: These mounts accept any standard 3/4" shackle — pair them with our 3/4" D-ring shackles with 70,000 lbs strength. For extraction, add a 1" x 30ft kinetic recovery rope and a winch line damper for safe recovery operations.
