I have this one I like it because of how rounded and smooth it is. Less stress and wear on soft shackles.

I’ve had my Warn 2” shackle receiver mount for almost 26 years now - still does the job admirably. I’m almost sure 26 years ago it was still made in the US as well…

Awesome! Would you mind posting a picture so we can see how it looks on a Rivian?
Not a great pic… but NO apologies for the dirt! ?

Not sure I would trust that as a recovery point, it does not look like they have tested and rated it for work or failure loads.

On their website they list the rating for the shackle but not this piece.
