Review on πŸ”’ Rugged Ridge 11234.01 Receiver Shackle Bracket: Durability and Versatility Combined by Brian Cooper

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sturdy clutch, cheap D-ring

Unlike most others sold at Revain, this clutch is actually machined to match the receiver, it's not just a raw casting. It is perfect for the Class III hitch on my Ranger as shown in the picture. It is powder coated black. The included D-ring appears to be from the bottom shelf. It's marked 4 tons, possibly metric, but certainly less than the advertised 9,500 pounds (the hitch itself can certainly handle a lot more). The red and orange pin looks cool but is painted very poorly. The coating is a little soft, probably to reduce rattling, but it had already peeled off when I took it out of the box. After all, it's made in China and you get what you pay for. I'm happy with the clutch and will probably just replace the D-ring soon.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • negligible repairability
