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

Nilight's 2" Shackle Hitch Receiver with a 3/4" D-ring provides a heavy-duty, low-profile vehicle recovery anchor rated for 11,000 lbs working load and designed to fit standard 2" tow receivers.

This shackle-style hitch adapter combines a rugged, drop-forged steel receiver with a corrosion-resistant finish and a removable 3/4" D-ring to create a versatile recovery point for trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles. Built for demanding conditions, the unit includes an isolator and washers to reduce rattle and protect vehicle paint, while dual hitch pin holes let you orient the shackle vertically or horizontally depending on recovery needs.

How much load can this hitch receiver handle and what are the limits?

The Nilight shackle hitch receiver has a rated working load of 11,000 lbs and a minimum breaking strength of 45,000 lbs, both achieved through drop-forged steel construction. These ratings mean the assembly is intended for heavy towing and recovery use when installed and used according to guidelines.

• Working load: 11,000 lbs (rated)
• Minimum breaking strength: 45,000 lbs
• Constructed from high-strength drop-forged steel for durability
• Follow vehicle and hitch manufacturer's limits for safe use

Will it fit my vehicle and how does the shackle mount?

The receiver is sized for standard 2" hitch openings, so it slides into most common Class III/IV receiver tubes. Dual pin holes in the body let you attach the supplied 3/4" D-ring either vertically or horizontally, providing flexible anchor geometry for different recovery angles.

• Fits all standard 2" receiver tubes
• Dual hitch pin holes for vertical or horizontal D-ring mounting
• Includes a 5/8" trailer hitch pin for secure installation
• Low-profile design minimises protrusion behind the bumper

What materials and coatings protect against wear and corrosion?

Nilight used heavy-duty drop-forged steel as the core material, then applied powder coating and an electro-galvanized finish to resist rust and abrasion. The D-ring itself receives a powder-coated layer and ships with an isolator and washers to prevent metal-on-metal contact and reduce surface damage.

• Drop-forged steel body for high tensile strength
• Powder coat plus electro-galvanized protection against corrosion
• Black isolator and washers included to reduce rattle and protect paint
• Designed for repeated use in off-road and towing conditions

What comes in the package and how easy is it to install?

The package includes the 2" shackle hitch receiver, a 5/8" hitch pin, a 3/4" D-ring shackle, an isolator, and two washers. Installation is straightforward: slide into a 2" receiver, align pin holes, insert the hitch pin, and secure the shackle—no special tools required beyond those for your hitch pin retention.
