DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- The TruckTok 38,500 lbs Shackle Receiver is the everyday recovery workhorse — enough strength for serious extraction, compact enough to live in your receiver full-time. Drop-forged steel construction with a 3/4" heavy-duty D-ring and 5/8" anti-theft lock pin delivers reliable recovery capability without the bulk or price tag of heavier receivers.
- The galvanized and powder-coated finish stands up to mud, snow, and road salt, while the dual pin hole design gives you horizontal and vertical mounting options. If you want a recovery point that’s always there when the trail gets nasty — without overthinking it — this is your receiver.
Key Features
- High-strength drop-forged steel delivers reliable recovery performance with a 6x+ safety margin for most trucks and SUVs. Tested, not just calculated.
- Pin holes let you orient the shackle for the pull direction. Horizontal for straight recoveries, vertical for angled pulls — adapt to the situation in seconds.
- Includes the shackle receiver, 3/4" D-ring with 7/8" pin, 5/8" anti-theft lock with keys, isolator, R-clip, and rubber washers. Ready to install and use out of the box.
- Galvanized undercoat with powder coat top layer protects against rust from rain, mud, snow, and road salt. Rinse it off after a muddy recovery and it’s good as new.
- Designed to live in your receiver — low profile enough to not interfere with daily driving, always ready when the trail demands it.

FAQ
Q: Which recovery receiver is right for me — 38,500 or 70,000 lbs?
A: For Jeeps, mid-size, and half-ton trucks, 38,500 lbs is solid (6x+ safety margin on a 6,000 lb truck). For dedicated heavy recovery, frequent winching, or maximum peace of mind, step up to the 70,000 lbs receiver.
Q: Do I need to remove this to use a ball mount?
A: Yes — only one accessory fits in the receiver at a time. The anti-theft lock makes removal quick with the key. Swap to a ball mount for towing, then swap back.
Q: Can I use this with a snatch block for winching?
A: Yes — the D-ring is an ideal anchor point for a 10-ton snatch block, doubling your winch’s pulling power for tough extractions.
Q: Will the lock freeze up in winter?
A: The weatherproof design resists moisture intrusion, but any lock can freeze in extreme conditions. A shot of lock de-icer or graphite lubricant once a season prevents issues. Keep the keyhole cover closed when not in use.
Q: Need more recovery gear for a complete trail kit?
A: Pair this receiver with our 3/4" D-ring shackles for additional connection points, and a kinetic recovery rope for smooth extraction power.
