Your Hitch Just Became a Legit Recovery Point

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is this for recovery only?
A: Yes — this is a recovery shackle mount, not a trailer towing device.
Q: Does it come with a pin or shackle?
A: No — you’ll need to add a 5/8” hitch pin and a 3/4” shackle separately.
Q: How does red hold up to scratches or trail wear?
A: It’s anodized, not painted — so it holds up great. Minor wear shows less than you'd think.
Q: Is this better than a steel block?
A: It’s lighter, corrosion-resistant, and precision machined — with equal or better strength ratings.
