Nilight 2" Shackle Hitch Receiver for 2-inch Receivers with 3/4" D‑Ring Shackle — 11,000 lb Rated, Corrosion‑Resistant

Nilight's 2" Shackle Hitch Receiver is a heavy-duty, drop-forged steel recovery hitch with a 11,000 lb rated working load and a 45,000 lb breakpoint, designed to turn any standard 2" receiver into a secure anchor for towing and winch recovery.

Built for drivers who need a reliable recovery point, this receiver insert and 3/4" D-ring shackle kit combines robust metallurgy, corrosion-resistant finishes, and vibration-reducing hardware. It fits all common 2" tow receivers and offers flexible attachment orientations so you can rig recovery lines horizontally or vertically. The kit includes isolators and washers to protect vehicle finishes and reduce rattle during travel.

How tough is this hitch receiver for real-world recoveries?

The receiver is made from drop-forged high-strength steel and tested to industry-scale loads, giving a rated working load of 11,000 lbs and a breakpoint of 45,000 lbs. That means it's built for heavy towing and recovery scenarios far beyond typical consumer-grade hardware. Powder coating and electro-galvanizing add a durable barrier against abrasion and rust.

• Drop-forged steel construction for maximum strength
• 11,000 lb working load, 45,000 lb breakpoint for demanding pulls
• Powder coat + electro-galvanize for long-term corrosion resistance

Will it fit my vehicle and how can I attach the D-ring?

The Nilight receiver is sized for any standard 2" hitch opening, so it slides into most truck and SUV receivers. Dual hitch pin holes let you position the 3/4" D-ring either horizontally or vertically, giving you more rigging options depending on recovery angle or clearance. A 5/8" trailer hitch pin secures the insert tightly in the receiver.

• Compatible with all standard 2" tow receivers
• Dual pin-hole design for horizontal or vertical D-ring mounting
• Included 5/8" hitch pin for secure installation

How does the kit minimize damage and noise while driving?

Nilight supplies a black isolator and washers that sit between metal contact points to reduce movement and stop metal-on-metal scraping. The D-ring itself is powder coated to resist corrosion and fading from road salts or moisture. Together these parts protect painted bumpers and cut down on in-cab and rear-end rattling over rough roads.

• Black rubber isolator reduces rattles and absorbs vibration
• Washers prevent abrasion to bumper surfaces
• Powder-coated D-ring lowers corrosion and maintains appearance
