DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- Same 70,000 lbs drop-forged strength as our standard D-rings — with one critical upgrade. The Mega D-Ring Shackle features a 7/8" pin with a large outer lock nut and R-clip that prevents the pin from backing out under vibration, making it the better choice for permanent mounting on your truck or trailer. Once torqued down, the lock nut keeps the pin exactly where you set it — no more checking your shackle pin at every fuel stop.
- The included vibration-dampening isolator system protects your vehicle’s finish and eliminates highway rattle. Galvanized and powder-coated for all-weather corrosion resistance. If you want shackles you can install and forget about until you need them, this pair is the answer.
Key Features
- The outer lock nut prevents the screw pin from backing out under vehicle vibration. Torque it once and the pin stays put — ideal for shackles mounted on your truck or trailer full-time. Comes as a 2-pack so you can run one front and one rear.
- Drop-forged from the same heavy-duty steel as our standard shackles. The lock nut adds security without compromising the strength rating.
- The included isolator and rubber washers absorb vibration and prevent the metal shackles from rattling against your vehicle. Silent operation on the highway, immediate readiness on the trail.
- Galvanized undercoat with powder coat top layer. Handle mud, snow, salt, and pressure washing without rust.

FAQ
Q: When should I choose the lock nut version over the standard screw pin?
A: If the shackle will stay mounted on your vehicle full-time, the lock nut prevents vibration-induced loosening. For a shackle that lives in your recovery bag and gets attached only during recoveries, the standard screw pin is fine. Permanent mount = lock nut, bag kit = standard pin.
Q: How does the lock nut and R-clip security system work?
A: The pin is a smooth shaft — not threaded — that slides through the shackle body. The large outer lock nut threads onto the pin end to prevent it from backing out under vibration, and an R-clip locks through the pin tip as a secondary fail-safe. Unlike a standard screw pin that threads directly into the shackle body, this design separates the securing force (lock nut) from the shear load (pin shaft) — a stronger and more secure configuration.
Q: Does the larger Mega D-Ring body affect compatibility with straps?
A: No — the 7/8" pin diameter is the same as our standard shackle, so strap fitment is identical. The larger body just provides more finger clearance during attachment.
Q: Will the lock nut seize up from rust or mud?
A: The galvanized finish protects the threads, but any threaded fastener can eventually seize if neglected. A drop of anti-seize on the threads once a year prevents issues. Rinse after muddy recoveries.
Q: Need a hitch receiver or recovery rope to go with this shackle?
A: Mount this shackle on our 70,000 lbs D-ring hitch receiver for a bulletproof vehicle anchor. For extraction, pair with a 1" x 30ft kinetic recovery rope.

Verified buyerRunning 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.
Chris D.
Verified buyerGot 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.
Travis M.
Verified buyerTowing 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.
Mike R.
Verified buyerHauled 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.
Jason T.
Verified buyerUsed 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.
Brandon L.
Verified buyerBought 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.

Fitment guaranteed or refundGot 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.
