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.

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