Having adopted soft shackles and not liking the sacrificed departure clearance and aesthetics of the rear factory recovery points, I picked up these beautiful, beefy MHI Rock Rings.
Solid 7075-T6, CNCed, aluminum. 15,000 lb working load, 60,000+ lb breaking strength. I calculated the bolts would probably shear first around 20,000 lb
EDIT: According to MHI on strength: The OEM bolts failed at around 35,000lbs. We then tried Grade 8 bolts, those failed at around 30,000lbs
Second pic shows the view standing behind the truck. They are invisible!
Install is trivial, use low strength blue loctite (as the factory did) and torque to 59 ft lb.
