Product Information
The Jowl™ Recovery Split Shackle 3/4 (Buff Bronze) is a game-changer in off-road recovery gear. It features our patent-pending split “J” design, which allows for ultra-fast, tool-less attachment of recovery ropes or tow straps perfect when every second counts on the trail.
This model is designed to fit any standard 2.0″ or 2.5″ D-Ring receiver bracket with a 7/8″ pin hole and up to 1.25″ mount width, making it compatible with a wide range of vehicles. The main body is forged from high-strength chromoly steel, delivering a 10,000 lb working load limit (WLL) and a 5:1 safety factor for maximum reliability during heavy-duty recovery situations.
To ensure performance and longevity, each Buff Bronze shackle is powder-coated for superior abrasion and corrosion resistance, giving it the toughness to handle mud, water, snow, and UV exposure without breaking a sweat. The shackle is also paired with a Grade 8 carbon steel pin, plated in black nickel for extra durability and visual contrast.
This product is trusted by serious off-roaders and available through top-tier distributors like Lake and Trail Accessories, Forward Notion, LLC, and Lethal Performance, proving its reputation for strength and innovation in the field. Whether you're hitting remote trails or preparing for unpredictable terrain, this shackle is ready to perform.
Built for Simplicity, Designed for the Trail
We designed the Jowl Recovery Split Shackle with one goal in mind: make recovery faster, safer, and easier without sacrificing strength or style. Forget the hassle of removing conventional shackles or dealing with soft loop setups. With our patent-pending split “J” design, there’s no need for tools, pins, or extra hardware. Simply open the hooked sides, slide in the looped end of your recovery rope or strap, rotate the shackle back into place, and tighten it. That’s it you’re locked in and ready to recover.
This intuitive design is ideal for anyone who wants streamlined functionality in high-pressure situations. The built-in pull-angle stops help prevent misalignment under load, while the included nylon isolators cut down on noise and prevent metal-on-metal contact when driving over uneven terrain.
Our Jowl shackles are trusted by enthusiasts and professionals alike and are proudly featured by respected retailers such as Amazon, Tacoma Lifestyle, and Lethal Performance. These partners choose to carry our product because they know it performs every time. Whether you're in a recovery situation or simply prepping your gear for the next trip, our shackle’s simple install and reliable performance help you focus on the trail, not the tools.
