HitchLink 2.0 Reciever Shackle Mount 2 Inch Receivers Factor 55

The Factor 55 HitchLink 2.0 turns a standard 2-inch receiver into a capable recovery point. Slide it into the receiver opening, secure it with a 5/8-inch steel alloy hitch pin (not included), and you have a rated shackle mount ready for recovery pulls.

The construction is CNC-machined 6000 series aluminum — at 1.9 pounds, it's significantly lighter than steel equivalents that can run up to 8 pounds. The red powder coat finish handles oxidation. This is a Made in USA unit, engineered and tested to a 9,500 lb working rating with an ultimate failure load of 51,000 lbs.

The shackle hole accepts a common 3/4-inch screw pin shackle and features a machined radius that also accommodates soft shackles up to 1/2 inch — that detail matters if you're running a soft shackle setup. We like that Factor 55 machines the radius specifically for soft shackle use rather than leaving it as a sharp edge that cuts into the line under load.

One firm safety note from the manufacturer: never exceed your receiver hitch's factory pull rating, always pull in line with the hitch, and never side-load or bind the shackle. California residents: this product carries a Prop 65 warning — see P65Warnings.ca.gov.
