Sure, I can help with that. I can see why the fitment notes are confusing. For a 2012 Toyota Tundra with the factory tow package and factory 7 way connector, you'll want a brake controller that plugs into the factory brake controller port under…

WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!
Built for tough recoveries and clean hookups, these tow shackles give you a solid connection point with a metal shackle you can trust. Choose receiver-style or bolt-on designs to match your setup, and double-check your hitch size or reinforced mounting point, pin diameter, inside width, and capacity for a proper fit. Great for straps, chains, and safety chains when winching or towing.
Yes, a metal shackle is a solid connection point for winching and snatch straps. Pair it with appropriate dampers and connect only to sturdy recovery points. Avoid side loading the pin; some receivers are drilled so the clevis can sit horizontal or vertical to help reduce it.
Bolt it to a frame-mounted tow or recovery point, not sheet metal or a bumper. Line the bracket with an existing reinforced hole or drill your own, seat it flat, then torque the bolts to spec. Make sure the shackle pivots freely without rubbing and recheck bolt torque after a few uses. If rubber parts are included, inspect them if you expect heavy use.
Match the metal shackle to your receiver size. There are options for 1-1/4" ATV/UTV hitches and larger 2" and 2.5" receivers. Measure the receiver and the shackle body—one review noted a unit was too big and wouldn't fit until milled. Some pieces let you mount the clevis pin horizontal or vertical, which can help with off-angle pulls.
Confirm the shackle pin diameter and the inside opening. Examples mentioned include a 3/4" pin, an inside opening about 5/8" to clear a 9/16" need, and acceptance of a 5/16" chain grab hook. Measure your chain, strap hardware, and the shackle opening to ensure a clean fit before use.
