I buy them at any implement or tractor store, i think even big r or any farm store has them. I have a JAX farm and ranch here and they carry 8" wide clevis'

I keep a 1 3/8" Crosby on my receiver at all times. I built the hitch for it out of 2" solid stock and lazer cut parts.

what are these weights you guys are throwing around...... working load limit? or maxinum load limit? I mean seriously 43ton rated WLL in a certified shackle would be a 2 1/4" shackle. that'll weight 66lbs. and be in the range of 15 1/2" long. you can buy china junk sure. but those ratings mean nothing.


this is what I've got, cause that pic of my truck is very deceptive. Is an actual Crosby brand 1 3/8" shackle with screw anchor. its SWLL 13.5ton. and minimum ultimate strength is 81 ton. (6x Working Load Limit)
