Hello All... Has anyone replaced their tow hooks on their Ranger Raptors with Shackle Brackets? TIA

I have not. Just have a couple soft shackles. Just curious as to why you want steel shackles?

I broke a Rhino Soft Shackle while having my 4 Dr Bronco BadSquatch pulled from a bog...

I feel like soft shackle is the way to go now. And the hooks are fine for that.

edit: if you pull hard enough something will break. I think i would like it to be soft if it does

I wonder if a vee bridal would be a good investment

you could get the rival hooks If you want to change your hooks

But I don’t know much.

Do you think it was the Rhino being of lesser quality?

It's hard to say... Everything else that I've bought from Rhino has been fantastic... That was the first and last time that I needed to get pulled out with my Bronco. The 2nd soft shackle worked fine...

If 1 soft shackle broke and a second worked fine on the same recovery, it might be a QC issue. I know Rhino USA products are made in China. They are American owned and operated, but when I asked them directly, they replied that they use trusted manufacturers in China.

If your soft shackle was from Rhino 4x4, I believe that is a different company, and I know nothing about their products.

Check out Yankum recovery equipment. While not cheap they are American made and of great quality.
