FAQs

What size D-ring shackles can I use with these mounts?

These mounts are designed to fit 3/4" D-ring shackles. They also accommodate shackles with 7/8" threaded pins.

Do these mounts require drilling or modification to install?

No, these mounts are designed for a direct bolt-on installation, converting your existing OEM tow hooks. No drilling or permanent modifications should be necessary.

What is the weight capacity of these shackle mounts?

While specific load ratings are not provided, they are constructed from thick, solid steel for superior strength suitable for vehicle recovery. Always refer to manufacturer guidelines for safe recovery practices and ensure your shackle and strap are rated appropriately.

How do I maintain the black finish?

Clean the mounts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Periodically inspect for any damage and consider a protective coating for longevity.

What is covered under the Limited Lifetime Replacement Warranty?

The warranty generally covers defects in materials and workmanship. It's best to consult Rough Country's official warranty documentation for specific terms and conditions.

Can I use these mounts for towing, not just recovery?

These mounts are specifically designed for vehicle recovery using D-ring shackles. They are not intended or rated for direct towing applications.

Troubleshooting

Mounts do not align with frame holes.

Verify that you are using the correct mount for your vehicle model. Ensure no old hardware is obstructing the new mounts and that the vehicle's frame is not bent or damaged.

Difficulty installing D-ring shackle.

Confirm that you are using a 3/4" D-ring shackle or a 7/8" threaded pin shackle as specified. Ensure the shackle pin is correctly threaded and not cross-threaded.

Corrosion on the black finish.

Clean the affected area with mild soap and water. Apply a protective coating designed for automotive steel components if necessary. Regular cleaning and inspection will help prevent significant corrosion.
