On the Bronco do not use the receiver for any recovery period, there are multiple failure points, those inserts wont save you. The OEM Bronco shackle points are bolted direct line of the frame which is what you want.Great video and information. I'm not a heavy duty off-roader, but there might be times when I try to pull someone out of the snow. After this video, I can't say I wasn't warned. One things I'd like to know more about are these 2" shackle hitch receivers, and what, if any, are the recommendations for actually using them to tow someone out of a jam? (for example, https://www.rhinousainc.com/products/shackle-hitch-receiver) Nowhere in the ad do they say how much it can tow, but they have a picture of it with a heavy duty tow line. It also has a hollow shank, which seems to impact how much you can pull with it. I might get one, but after this video I won't be trying to recover anyone with it.
