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.
