The 7/8 Jowl™ Recovery Split Shackle™ is the heavy-duty evolution of our patented split-shackle technology, designed specifically for full-size trucks and utility vehicles that demand maximum strength and faster, tool-less recovery hookups. This innovative split “J” design eliminates the need for soft shackles or traditional shackle removal—simply hook, rotate, and pull tight for immediate closed-loop recovery in even the harshest trail or work environments. Whether you're towing, rescuing, or navigating technical terrain, the Jowl™ 7/8 delivers unmatched speed, convenience, and strength.
Important Notes
-
Color combos: Combo sets ship as two single-color shackles you assemble into your custom color mix.
-
Mount hole warning: Many bumpers list a 1.0" mount hole, but thick coatings often reduce the true inner diameter to ~0.950", which is too small for a 1.0" pin.
-
Raw Dog caution: Uncoated and will rust—must be painted or powder-coated.
-
Fits: 2.5" Class V shackle receivers with 1.0" pin hole and mount width ? 1.49".
- Tool-less design: Only one screw needs removal to mount or dismount the shackle.
