Rhino USA Shackle Hitch Receiver for 2" Class IV Hitches — 15+ Ton Break Strength, Low-Profile Recovery Anchor

Rhino USA Shackle Hitch Receiver is a heavy-duty recovery shackle that installs into any 2" (Class IV) receiver to provide a safe, high-strength anchor for vehicle recovery and towing accessories.

Designed for drivers who need a secure, purpose-built attachment point at the rear of their truck or SUV, this hitch-mounted shackle replaces using a hitch ball or bumper loop for strap and winch connections. Built to industry-grade strength, the Rhino USA shackle offers a simple, tool-free install and a clean, low-profile fit with most Class IV 2" receivers commonly found on half-ton and larger pickup trucks and many SUVs with tow packages.

How quickly can I install the Rhino USA Shackle in my 2" receiver?
