Sloppy Shackles Makes Towing Dangerous

Based on our own experience, these shackles are a terrible investment .Though they`re marketed as "heavy-duty," they feel flimsy and unreliable. We noticed a lot of slop in the design during towing and the safety pin felt lightweight. The only pro is that they were easy to install, but that's not worth the risk of a towing disaster on the highway..

Pros
  • Easy to install on most trucks and SUVs, providing increased ground clearance and improved suspension.
Cons
  • Might be too long for some vehicles, causing an awkward angle on the suspension and possibly affecting the overall handling and stability of the vehicle.

Robust and practical.

Ideal for attaching security chains from trailer to truck. It is very difficult to install security chains on new trucks, this is the solution to the problem.

Pros
  • External accessory
Cons
  • Some nuances
