Made from ultra-strong forged steel, the WARN® Epic Winch Hook with E-coat finish provides maximum protection and reliability against wear and abrasion. I’ve never broken one (knock on wood) and I have never been in a situation where I found myself wishing I had a different style. SECURE CONNECTION WITH NO RUST STAINS - Made from Specially Forged Aircraft Grade Aluminum Alloy, our ULTRA Hitch Mount boasts an impressive 10,000 LBS (5T) Working Load Limit with only Half the Weight of a Steel Hitch Receiver and Zero Rust Stains on your vehicle. You need to visualize a solid recovery point, one that is mounted to the frame and that is load rated and tested. If you need to go with a bigger shackle hitch and you think 35 tons is ridiculous, this mount is for you!

One of the easiest recovery points to use is the trailer or tow hitch receiver which come standard on many 4x4 applications.Powdercoated to perfection, it’s got a finish that will look good on any setup, and it’s durable enough to offer a lifetime of service. It’s doing the same thing as an accessory installed in the receiver - supporting the length of the pin inside the receiver so that it is applying 2 shear forces to the pin instead of 1 bending load along the whole length. On the bent pin issue, lots of people say that they've used the hitch pin method for years without a bent pin.

Please check your owner’s manual to see if your truck comes equipped with load rated and tested vehicle recovery points. When the time comes to execute a recovery, the tow strap or winch will then attach to the soft or hard shackle. Why not go with a shackle mount in the receiver so you're pulling on the shackle pin and the receiver pin?

The Borne Off-Road 2-in hitch receiver shackle mount features two hitch pin locations that allow the mount to be pulled out to clear larger bumpers or tucked in to maintain departure angle when not in use. This means that for a 3/4" shackle, you need a hole that's 7/8", plus a little wiggle room so that you aren't hammering the pin in there.
