    Been thinking about doing that myself! Will be looking forward to hearing how it works for you.

    Today one of my friends got stuck in his heavy Chevy, someone else pulled him out. After witnessing this I started looking for recovery points on my truck and didn't really see any.... ive heard of people putting there strap in the receiver and using the pin to secure it? Is there any other way? Would hate to get stuck myself somewhere and Not have a way to hook to the front:notsure:

    I used this for many years. Worked really well. I just stuck the snatch-strap loop into the receiver just past the hole, then inserted the pin.

    You're right, I didn't zoom at all on my phone. I guess at first glance it threw me off I don't usually see it so low. Mine in at the very top with the rod adjusted to make that difference up.

    Hahaha, okay. I only have it on the 2" hole because I have 2.5" lift shackles and very flat springs. I figured might as well get the big one so I'll not have to buy another one later

    Gotcha, yeah I know what you mean, mines all the way up too and I still feel like it could do more. Maybe it is because my drums are filled with gunk, never had the drums off before.

    Lots of dust and custom dents, Check Build
    Easier to just swap the flasher relay to an EP35.
