Eliminate the winch hook and replace it with a safer and stronger D-ring shackle thimble from Factor 55.
These thimbles, aka "ProLink", work with steel cable or synthetic winch rope and there is no splicing required making installation only a few minutes. Made from billet aluminum construction these come with an upgraded titanium shear pin. The optional rubber guard for fairlead and ProLink protection is also included. Fits standard 3/4" d-ring shackles.

Made in USA.
