I buy all my recovery gear from Tractor Supply Company. I have a combo pintle hook on the back of my truck. It is a pintle hook with a 2 inch ball. I have yet to have any problems with what I use. One word of advice do not and I mean do not get those farm shackles that use a cotter pin to keep the pin in. I have seen those fail many times because of rookies in off-roading. It is not the shackle or the pin that fails. It is the cotter pin that fails which allows the pin of the shackle to slide out. Creating a sling shot for the strap.

It also doesn't hurt to have a couple of these either. For when you can't hook the strap directly to the vehicle you are recovering.
