Curt 45832 D-Ring Shackle Mount Trailer Hitch
For tough jobs and off-road vehicle recovery applications, the CURT D-ring shackle mount is a hardworking extension of your truck. It features a solid steel shank for maximum strength and has a weight capacity rating of 13,000 lbs. straight-line pull (limited to lowest-rated towing component). This makes it the perfect accessory for difficult vehicle recovery and other straight-pull towing applications. The shank also measures 2" x 2", allowing this trailer hitch mount to be compatible with larger pickup trucks and any class 4 or class 5 trailer hitch with a 2" x 2" receiver tube. It offers a perfect fit for all CURT Xtra Duty class 5 hitches (5/8" hitch pin & clip sold separately). The D-ring shackle mount features a threaded pin for easy attachment of the shackle, and it is compatible with the CURT vehicle recovery strap #83066. It also comes with a durable, corrosion-resistant carbide powder coat finish, keeping it well protected against the elements, as well as against nicks, scratches and scuffing.

How to select a hitch ball mount
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
Three factors to considerThere are three main things to consider when selecting a trailer hitch ball mount: how much weight you are going to be towing, what size receiver tube your trailer hitch has and how much drop or rise your ball mount will need (below). |
Trailer weight vs capacityFirst, be sure to select a ball mount with enough gross trailer weight capacity to fit your trailer. Trailer weight is one of the most important aspects of towing, and you should never exceed the weight capacity of any component of your vehicle, trailer or trailer hitch setup. |
Hitch receiver sizeNext, determine what size shank you will need. Receiver tubes come in a handful of standard sizes, including 1-1/4, 2, 2-1/2 and sometimes 3 inches, so finding a ball mount to match is relatively easy. |
How to determine drop or rise
After you know how much weight you will be towing and the size of your receiver tube, you will need to determine the drop or rise necessary for your trailer.
Drop or rise is the amount of height difference between the trailer and your tow vehicle, whether that difference is positive (rise) or negative (drop).
The diagram offers a quick explanation for how to determine your needed drop or rise. Take the distance from the ground to the top of the inside of your receiver tube opening (A), and subtract it from the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler (B).
B minus A equals C, the drop or rise.
