The block says 13k, the pin is 20k+. Is that a 1/2" shackle? If so, it's probably near 20k breaking strength. So, the block is the weak link. If that isn't enough, you likely need a heavier hitch. It's certainly more than the OP's 4Runner can handle.



It's a 3/4" shackle.


Our feed pickups weigh about 13,000lbs loaded so I tried to find the strongest setup. No mud yet so haven't tested them out.
