Factor 55 FlatLink E (Expert)
A low-profile shackle/D-ring mount that folds neatly into the fairlead, the Factor 55 FlatLink E (Expert) delivers strength, versatility, and the benefits of Closed System Winching®.
The FlatLink E replaces conventional winch hooks with a safer, stronger, and more compact shackle mount design. Precision machined from billet aluminum and secured with an aerospace-grade titanium pin, this expert-level winching solution reduces the risk of failure while maximizing clearance and approach angle. EPDM rubber guards protect your fairlead from wear and rattling, while the large pear-shaped shackle mounting hole offers flexible rigging options for advanced operators. For recreational off-roaders, Factor 55 recommends the standard FlatLink for simpler, safer use. The FlatLink E is built for those who demand maximum versatility and performance under the harshest recovery conditions.
