    I know Eddy personally and consider him a friend but I have zero SOS products on my truck. My truck is fully outfitted with All Pro armor. That being said, my AP full front steel bumper also has 3/8” recovery points.

    Not affiliated; but I should own stock considering how much I’ve spent on his products.

    In no way affiliated other than I was the guy who finally pestered Eddy enough to actually make a slimline for the 2nd gen. My old truck is on his website for 2 of the pics and 3/8" is plentyyyy. Most people who say that kinda nonsense also use cheap chinese made shackles from 4WP, so always consider the source.

    I've yanked on many a 3/8" from the front and from the rear, always with good results :D

    3/8 is plenty strong enough but the the 3/4 and 1 inch looks better and fits the shackle better. It keeps the shackle from flopping around too.

    Or I guess just leave off the shackles until you're offroading.

    I haven't owned anything but SOS concepts armor. There is a reason I am a returning customer.. I'm not affiliated with him other than calling him a good friend. I would trust Eddy with my life though!IMG_20190908_183125.jpg IMG_20190905_092556.jpg

    Dobinson’s coils and shocks. SOS sliders, ditch light brackets, and front skid. Rigid ditch lights. BFG KO(dos) More minor stuff.
    Hard to verify this as there is very little driving on 85 after 7am and 3:30pm.
