finally got my draw-tite front receiver in...huge pita. its rated for 9000 lb towing...anyone ever have any trouble with these when pulling/winching? Its really beefy, so i cant imagine it not being reliable. also, anybody know where the 2" insert with the tow hook can be bought? are they even reliable?

 

hitch mounted shackles are everywhere on ebay, amazon, etc. and yeah theyre fine to use

 

there it is



sway bar brackets took awhile to drop...new hole in the frame to get on the broken weld nut, which is round and had to be split off

 

thanks man, but im lookin for a hitch mounted hook, not shackles or d rings...any ideas on what the heck people call them?

here is what im coming across


anyone have any expericence on these? are these welds gonna break and send a rocket propelled bubba rope through my buddies tj?

 

something like this?

I have the same front rec., no problems winching, yet.
The hook you might be interested in is one from Harbor Freight. I have one, it is welded, but has seen some abuse pulling stuck vehicles out of deep snow.
