AUTMATCH Shackle Hitch Receiver 2 in - Heavy Duty Towing Kit

In this review the AUTMATCH Shackle Hitch Receiver 2 in kit is evaluated for off-road and towing use; it is aimed at drivers who need a durable, versatile recovery point and a theft-resistant hitch pin. The biggest reason to consider this set is its combination of heavy-duty materials and practical accessories: drop forged steel hardware rated for very high breaking strength plus a 5/8' anti-theft trailer hitch lock pin and shackle isolator to protect your bumper. It reads as a robust, no-nonsense recovery kit for frequent off-roaders and trailer users.

Key Features

• High-strength construction: Drop forged steel construction provides a rigid recovery anchor that handles very heavy loads for reliable pulls.
• Impressive breaking strength: The kit advertises up to 45,000 lbs max breaking strength with a 13,000 lbs straight-line pull rating for heavy duty towing tasks.
• Anti-theft lock pin: Includes a 5/8' trailer hitch lock pin to secure the hitch and deter theft while parked or transported.
• Flexible mounting: Dual hitch pin holes let you position the 3/4' D-ring shackle horizontally or vertically to suit different recovery anchor points.
• Protection and fit: Shackle isolator and four washers help protect the bumper from scratches, prevent rattling and improve fit in a 2' receiver.
• Weather resistance: Galvanized and powder coated plating helps prevent rust and corrosion when used in harsh weather conditions.

Who It's For

The kit is best for off-road drivers, overlanders and towing enthusiasts who want a sturdy recovery anchor and an anti-theft hitch pin in a compact package that fits a 2' trailer receiver. It suits owners who value build quality and visible, heavy-duty hardware that also improves vehicle appearance.

Drivers who need a very precise, custom-sized fit or who require certified load ratings for commercial towing should confirm fit and ratings before purchase; a few users report a loose fit in some receivers, so those needing an exact snug fit may want to measure and compare before ordering.
