Nilight 2" Shackle Hitch Receiver with 3/4" D‑Ring — Forged Steel, 11,000 lb Working Load

Nilight's 2" Shackle Hitch Receiver with a 3/4" D-ring shackle is a heavy-duty vehicle recovery anchor engineered for secure towing and winch recoveries on standard 2" receivers.

This complete receiver shackle kit combines a forged hitch insert, corrosion-resistant D-ring, isolator and hardware to give you a reliable anchor point for off-road recoveries, trailer pulls, and utility towing. Built from drop-forged steel and finished with protective coatings, the assembly is designed for high load capacity while minimizing noise and bumper wear. It fits any standard 2-inch receiver and provides flexible orientation for horizontal or vertical attachment of the D-ring.

How strong is this Nilight shackle hitch receiver and what loads can it handle?

The core components are manufactured from heavy-duty drop-forged steel and engineered for demanding loads. The set carries a rated working load of 11,000 lbs and a minimum breakpoint substantially higher, providing a safety margin for most recovery and towing scenarios.

• Rated working load: 11,000 lbs.
• Breakpoint: approximately 45,000 lbs for material failure threshold.
• Forged steel construction for increased toughness and durability.
• Designed to exceed common truck-grade anchors.

What protective finishes and noise-reduction features are included?

Nilight applies powder coating and electro-galvanized finishes to resist rust and abrasion in harsh environments. The kit also includes a rubber isolator and washers that reduce rattle and protect vehicle paint where the D-ring contacts the bumper or hitch area.

• Powder-coated D-ring and steel parts for corrosion resistance.
• Electro-galvanized surfaces on high-stress components.
• Rubber isolator and washers to dampen vibration and prevent scratching.
• All hardware sized to minimize movement and noise under load.

How does the receiver fit and what mounting options are available?
