Nilight 2" Shackle Hitch Receiver Adapter with 3/4" D-Ring Shackle — Drop-Forged Steel, Dual Pin Positions

Nilight's 2-inch shackle hitch receiver is a heavy-duty recovery accessory that turns any standard 2" tow receiver into a secure anchor point using a 3/4" D-ring shackle.

If you tow, recover, or frequently need a reliable anchor on the back of your truck, SUV, or trailer, this drop-forged steel kit offers a compact, rugged solution. Built to withstand demanding conditions, the set combines a steel receiver adapter, a 3/4" D-ring shackle, hitch pin hardware and protective isolators to reduce noise and protect painted surfaces.

How strong is this shackle hitch receiver for real-world towing and recovery?

The receiver and shackle are made from high-strength drop-forged steel with tested working and failure loads suitable for heavy use. It’s engineered to handle substantial loads while providing a dependable recovery point in off-road or roadside situations.

• Rated working load: 11,000 lbs for everyday recovery tasks
• Breakpoint (failure load): 45,000 lbs for clear safety margins
• Drop-forged construction improves toughness compared with cast parts

Will it fit my vehicle and how flexible is the mounting?

The Nilight receiver is sized for all standard 2" hitch receivers and includes dual pin-hole locations so you can orient the D-ring either horizontally or vertically. This flexibility lets you create the most effective recovery angle and attachment method for straps, winch hooks, or snatch blocks.

• Compatible with any standard 2" receiver tube
• Dual hitch pin holes for vertical or horizontal D-ring positioning
• Includes a 5/8" trailer hitch pin for secure fastening

How does the kit protect my vehicle and reduce noise?

The shackle and receiver have protective finishes and rubber isolators to limit metal-to-metal contact and prevent rattling during travel. Washers and isolator components also help avoid scratches to bumpers or paint where the hitch assembly contacts the vehicle.

• Powder-coated and electro-galvanized steel resists rust and abrasion
• Includes shackle isolator and washers to minimize noise and wear
• Parts designed to sit flush and reduce movement under load

What comes in the package and what should I expect during installation?

Installation is straightforward — slide the adapter into your receiver, position the D-ring as desired, insert and secure the hitch pin, then add the isolator and washers to finish.
