BulletProof Hitches 2-Inch Heavy Duty Receiver Shackle

The BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty Receiver Shackle mounts into any standard 2-inch receiver tube and provides a rated maximum weight capacity of 22,000 lbs with a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 12,500 lbs (12.5T), figures stamped directly on the shackle to meet DOT requirements. The shackle suits trucks, SUVs, and trailers equipped with a standard 2-inch receiver, regardless of make or model.

DOT-Stamped Capacity You Can Verify in the Field

The 22,000 lb maximum capacity and 12.5T WLL are stamped on the shackle body itself, not just printed in a manual. When a recovery situation demands that a bystander or rescue crew confirm the rating at a glance, the information is already there. The 1-inch D-ring is secured to the solid steel shank by a 1-1/8-inch threaded pin, so the connection between the ring and the shank can be inspected and re-torqued without special tools.

Four Pin Holes for Horizontal or Vertical Mounting

The solid steel shank includes four pin holes, allowing the shackle to be mounted horizontally or vertically without any reduction in rated capacity. A second mounting position shifts the shank deeper into the receiver tube, and an additional pin hole at the end of the shank provides an extra 1-1/2 inches of extension for trucks fitted with aftermarket bumpers where receiver tube depth or clearance differs from stock. Neither mounting position compromises the stated load rating.

Black Textured Powder Coat and Corrosion-Resistant Hardware

The shackle is finished in black textured powder coat. The included 5/8-inch receiver pin is corrosion resistant, and an R-clip secures the pin in the receiver tube during use. To attach or remove a strap or rope loop, unthread the 1-1/8-inch threaded pin.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty Receiver Shackle suits any truck, SUV, or trailer with a standard 2-inch receiver tube that needs a high-capacity attachment point for recovery straps, ropes, or chains, including vehicles with aftermarket bumpers that alter receiver depth.

This shackle does not fit 1-1/4-inch or other non-2-inch receiver tubes. A locking receiver pin is not included; securing the shackle against theft or unintended removal requires a separately purchased locking pin.

Common Questions

What receiver tube size does this shackle fit?

The BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty Receiver Shackle is designed exclusively for standard 2-inch receiver tubes. It does not fit 1-1/4-inch or other receiver sizes.

What is the working load limit, and where is it marked?

The shackle carries a Working Load Limit of 12,500 lbs (12.5T) and a maximum weight capacity of 22,000 lbs. Both figures are stamped directly on the shackle body to satisfy DOT requirements, so the rating is readable without consulting documentation.

Can the shackle be mounted horizontally and vertically?

Yes. The solid steel shank includes four pin holes that allow horizontal or vertical mounting at two different insertion depths. Neither orientation reduces the stated load rating. An additional pin hole at the end of the shank provides an extra 1-1/2 inches of extension for trucks with aftermarket bumpers.

What hardware is included, and is a locking pin in the box?

The receiver shackle ships with a 2-inch solid steel shank, 1-inch shackle, 1-1/8-inch threaded pin, one 5/8-inch corrosion-resistant receiver pin, and one R-clip. A locking receiver pin is not included and must be purchased separately.

Does this product carry a California Proposition 65 warning?

Yes. California residents should be aware that this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm.
