recovery point on factory hitch?

Ramsrule123 · Feb 3, 2012

I may need to pull someone out one day. is there a point to do so on the factory hitch? or is the front tow hooks my only option? i really don't like to pull people out in reverse. any thought? thanks

Get a d ring reciever
You have to be careful pulling people out from the front or back. It's very plausible to tweak you frame when doing so.

thanks that's what i was leaning to. not going into the recovery business, just like to be prepared.

You can also use the hitch pin with the recovery strap looped through it.

I have the D ring receiver it is sweet but what I used to do before I had it was just rap tow rope around tow ball and down under where ball tightens and it is nearly unbreakable.

A rated draw bar with a rated D ring with a good snatch strap for a weight you feel good about pulling.

I just use my regular hitch and put a clevis with a hitch pin through the ball mount hole. You won't tear it up.
