Default Receiver/Hitch Shackle - size?

I was wondering if anyone knew what the size of the receiver/hitch was that came on the JK w/tow package. Is it a 2" receiver or 1-1/4"?

I want to put one of those Receiver/Hitch Shackles on/in it.

Cool... thanks! I was confused since the spec says 3500lbs towing and many Class II's can do that.

Thanks for your help!

I have a follow-up on this. I wanted to order a d-shackle plug for my factory receiver and it's a class II (2"). The shackles I saw that I could order from Quadratec and others say class III. Is there an issue with the pin hole lining up, or would I be okay. (The shipping is outrageous, so I don't want to guess.)

I think the one I ordered from winchline was class III - no issues that I know of.

I got the Curt hitch and a Rugged Ridge d-shackle plug. Works great. Everything lines up fine. Get a locking pin though..........my first one dissappeared less than a week after putting it on.
