Factor 55 UltraHook Winch Shackles

Upgrade the standard winch hook with a replacement that enhances reliability and performance, and provides closed system winching--the extra security and confidence needed to tackle the most demanding winch recoveries. Factor 55 UltraHook winch shackles offer all the benefits of closed system winching with the versatility of having a hook. Originally developed to meet the needs of off-road racers who wanted the speed of a hook and functionality of closed system winching, the low-profile UltraHook features an industry-first closed system shackle mount hole machined into the body of the hook and installs in minutes. A latch pin, which is stored in the hook's body, can lock the safety latch securely into place for a true Closed Loop System. Integrated finger grips promote proper "hook-up" orientation. UltraHook is the first winch hook that can be stored neatly against a winch's fairlead protecting it from a metal-to-metal connection, thanks to the EPDM rubber pads, which also eliminate the UltraHook from rattling. Available in several colors, select the one preferred for your vehicle. Features: * Shackle pin mounting hole accepts screw pins from common 3/4 in. and soft shackles up to 1/2 in. * Safety latch with integrated latch lock pin allows for true closed system winching * Includes 5/8 in. diameter aerospace grade 6AI-4V grade V titanium double shear pin * Can be used with line diameters up to 3/8 in. * 3 in. thick when folded flat * Maximum load: 16,000 lbs. * Weight: 32 oz.

Factor 55 Lighted Fairleads

The Factor 55 lighted fairlead elevates offroad recovery by combining premium strength construction with integrated illumination, delivering unmatched visibility and control in low light conditions. Featuring a built in LED light bar, it projects a wide flood beam forward to illuminate the terrain ahead while also casting light rearward onto the winch drum—allowing for precise line spooling and safer operation without the need for flashlights or headlamps. Selectable white or amber lighting lets you adapt to different environments, improving clarity while reducing glare and eye fatigue during nighttime recoveries. Constructed from 1 inch thick 6061 T6 aluminum and finished with a hard anodized coating, it offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long term performance, while the large radius opening helps extend the life of synthetic winch rope. A flush mounted polycarbonate lens protects the lighting system from impact and debris, and an IP68 waterproof rating ensures reliable operation in harsh conditions, including mud, rain, and temporary submersion.

Factor 55 Hawse Fairleads

Factor 55 hawse fairleads are the best in the business. They're CNC-machined from thick USA 6000-Series aluminum bar and thicker than the industry-standard 0.75 in. size to extend rope life.

Factor 55 Standard-Duty Tow Straps

Factor 55 Standard-Duty tow straps are designed for pulling or towing vehicles. Tow straps should not be confused with "Dynamic" recovery straps like "Snatch" straps or Kinetic recovery ropes. Dynamic straps are designed to store large amounts of kinetic energy in the stretch of the rope, while tow straps do not store this quantity of energy. These 2 in. wide double-ply 30 ft. long straps are made of a low-stretch 100 percent polyester and allow for little to no stretch, so vehicles can be towed for greater distances than Dynamic nylon straps. Because towing a vehicle often results in the tow strap making contact to the ground, the abraded low-energy storage tow strap will not recoil as severely if a strap failure occurs. To reach a higher minimum breaking strength of 31,000 lbs., Factor 55 doubled the ply, stitched it the entire length, and wrapped the reinforced eyes with a durable Cordura sleeve.
