Default 2" D Ring Receiver

I am looking for the best 2" D Ring Receiver. I have done A LOT of searching and have been very disappointed in what I have found. I feel like all there is are CRAZY OVERPRICED ones, POS Harbor Freight one, or something like a Smittybilt that everyone says is to small and rattles like crazy. Does anyone have one that they really like out there? Thanks, BDGile

I got a harbor freight one too. It has helped me a couple times. I wanna get a new D shackle for it tho only cuz the one it comes with is small. And if you can weld at all you can make the hf one stronger pretty easily.

x2 i have the same one, works great, no rattle. i redrilled the hole so i could have the ring facing the other way. i have done some pretty hard pulls with it no problems at all, plus the yellow d ring looks pretty sweet

Like I said if you can weld you can make it stronger pretty easily. I'm planning to just to make it look better. And also why not it was cheap enough to the point if I screw it up oh well.
