What resistance to corrosion and wear does this kit provide?

The kit combines powder-coating with electro-galvanized finishing to protect metal surfaces from rust, road salt, and abrasive elements. The D-ring itself is powder coated, and included washers and an isolator help prevent direct metal-to-metal contact that can cause surface damage.

• Powder-coated D-ring resists chipping and rust
• Electro-galvanized receiver adds long-term corrosion defense
• Isolator and washers reduce scratching and rattle wear
