Shackle Hitch Receiver from Amazon

Thoughts on this shackle?

It will hopefully be rarely used, but for $36 I think it would be nice to in the truck just in case.

I don't trust Harbor Freight on much, but why not go with their similar product? I'd trust it at least as much as an Amazon China product, and if you do have issues with it, you can just stop at a store and get it addressed.

Better get a locking hitch pin too or else it will walk away. I went with this combo:

Agreed with @imnuts - I would be cautious about using a chinesium product in that role. If the shackle or receiver breaks when using it, you're going to have a bad day. I was able to find a Factor55 receiver for ~$65 shipped from OpticsPlanet (they aren't that cheap anymore), and for me, the slightly higher cost is worth it for peace of mind. Also, I was able to get it in grey which matches well with the Carbonized Grey BAP.

If you need some motivation, check out this article. Not apples to apples as this case involved a drop hitch which would create a substantial amount of torque, but still, something to think about prior to attempting a recovery.

I use these to connect our TT chains to the hitch since the factory hitch has the stupid opening shape that TT chains don't fit. While they are not the same product as this thread, they are the same brand as the OP's link and have worked well for the ~18mos we've had them.

After watching this, never cheap out..

Don't know much about that one.
Why not just use a quality pin?

Rhino or smitty might be similar priced alternatives.

I have the same setup. It is a solid setup and has worked fine. Well worth the price.

I also went with Soft Shackles to use on the closed tow loops on the front.

This seems like more bang for your buck https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085Q22DSG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2HMJ5GT5TYLAE&th=1
