Put more air in the tires... :frustration:

Went to 4 Wheel Parts and picked up a 2' x 20' - 20,000 lb tow strap, and a 2" receiver hook

2 foot by 20 foot, or was that a typo? I think you meant 2" (inch) but then I've never heard of a 2" wide strap being rated for 10 tons. Generally you won't find anything with that high a rating until you get to 4" or bigger.

Or is that 20klbs breaking strength? (Breaking strength is generally 5x higher than Safe Working Load rating)

Good Call.... yes 2" x 20' :lol:

This is the actual one I bought.. Tow Strap

I would assume that is 20k lbs breaking strength

I'm not seeing any indication one way or the other, but there's no way I would believe a 2" strap with a 20k SWL, so I'll go with that being the breaking strength. Even that sounds a bit optimistic to me though, so I'd err on the side of caution and consider it about a 4k strap.

Yeah.. I don't see my self using it much... just wanted something incase I need it. A lot of the reviews on the strap say its worked well for them...


So, your saying its a 4k strap... So your thinking that is not enough, since a full size truck is what.. 6k :dunno:

If it is 20k max it would be okay to use... I guess I don't have a whole lot of knowledge when it comes to buying straps..
