🧾 Overview
The Factor 55 FlatLink XTV Winch Shackle Mount is a low-profile winch line termination designed to replace traditional winch hooks with a safer, cleaner recovery solution. The FlatLink XTV stows neatly against roller or hawse fairleads, reducing winch hook rattle while helping prevent fairlead damage during operation.
Manufactured in the USA, the FlatLink XTV is constructed from 6000-series billet aluminum and features 6Al-4V titanium hardware, providing high strength with reduced weight. This design allows the winch line to sit flush against the fairlead when fully retracted, improving safety and minimizing exposed hardware on the front of the vehicle.
