Yeah, my cousin uses them on a couple of his work trucks. Its what he uses to hitch the horse and small cattle trailers up to his pick ups for local transportation.

dude, that shackle is big enough to belong on a fast frigate, way overkill for hauling horses.

I have never seen a shackle like that be used for towing. Way too much play in the connection. Someone might use something like that for the safety chain connection, but not the main hook up connection.

As for the truck nutz, i dont know how anyone could be taken seriously with that crap on their truck. This is just another case of some douchebag trying to make some kind of redneck statement, like the truck nutz.

DOn't hate on country people and call them racist names. They like their fashion statements just like everyone else.

Yeah. That looks pretty dumb. I can see someone actually trying to use it though and pulling their truck apart.

I'm willing to bet that bar shackle will easily hold 30,000 lbs or more.

Probably. But it's like using 50# test fishing line to catch crappie.

Totally agree! I'm not justifying it, just commenting.

I was actually amazed at how much weight even those tiny little bar shackles that some people use for paracord bracelets will hold before breaking. One of the little 4mm diameter bar shackles will hold up to 2k lbs if I recall correctly.
