    Agreed and that is my plan right now. Already have tires, just need sliders and suspension.

    What's the different between the snatch strap and tow strap?

    Wouldn't just this tow strap be good enough?
    Tow Strap Heavy Duty, Recovery strap - Soft Snatching - 30 000 lbs 3" x 20 ft - Towing Strap with Reflective Line, Reinforced Loops + Storage Bag - Off road Tow Rope - Greatest for Heavy Duty Vehicle

    The tow strap is to pull someone a good distance. Either if they have a break down or in our case, one time we had to pull a 2WD Tacoma up a steep hill. We didn't have a tow strap so we just used my nice expensive Snatch strap and completely ruined it. A tow strap doesn't stretch so if you use it to try to recover a stuck truck, it'll jerk once full stretched, and could potentially pull off whatever you're attached to. Or atleast give you a good whiplash.

    A snatch strap is to get someone out when they are stuck. It's more elastic and stretches, then uses that kinetic energy to help pull out the stuck truck. But since it stretches, it shouldn't be used to tow with.

    Yup. What Mark said. You want the breaking strength to be between 2-3 times the weight of our trucks. I think our trucks are around 7000lbs loaded up.

    Edit- key word being between 2-3 times. Not at least 2-3 times. If it’s too strong, it won’t stretch enough.

    Also look into stretch percentage. Most snatch are 30% ish. I’ve been using a smittybilt and used it a good amount of times. They came out with a kinetic rope too.

    Look into a recovery damper too. Anything can happen. Good insurance if any strap/winch line fails.

    I actually prefer the automatic tire deflators. Put it in and forget about it. You can even drive with it on.

    Hey, on another subject, got my front end aligned at "Custom Alignment" in Mountain View. FINALLY, a shop that knows how to adjusts with the hiems! Truck drives amazing again. Any bay area members struggling to get thier alignment dialed in, I would recommend going to see them.
