possum Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Is a clevis shackle with a safe working limit of 9000lbs safe for vehicle recovery? It is a 3/4" shackle, 7/8" pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 It would be sufficient depending on: 1.) What it's mounted to. Screwed to bumper, no. Mounted properly with back braces along the frame rails, yes. In a hitch receiver (even though it says so), probably not. 2.) You're not hanging 10K+ lbs. on it 3.) You're not "jerking" the load. 4.) You're using a strap with the same or better load rating without strap hooks. Respect the load rating, and less. The clevis shackle could probably hold alot more, the Jeep? not so much.

possum Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 They will be mounted to a JCR rear bumper in the D-ring tabs. Just light recovery is all I am worried about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 The short answer is yes, they will be fine. :shake: I picked up 4 "fancy shackles from essentials last year. They are nicer designed for working with straps and the safety thimble I have on my winch cable. http://www.quadratec.com/products/92145_001.htm Image Not Found They work exceptionally well!!
