    6 axle setup, 3 on the truck and 3 on the trailer. Anything bigger won't fit and make the turns. Every turn will still require a 50point backup and pullup on just a 6 axle. Stuff isn't moving very far or very fast. 30 miles at most with avg. speed of under 20mph. Anything going more than that will be under 80K.

    How much stronger is grade 100 vs g70?

    It says on their website that their 1/2" is ratted for 11,300. Which ones did you go with and what were you using them for?

    I bought the 3/8’s. I used them to secure items of various design to my deck.
    FWIW, I always secure at 100%

    Crosby/Lexus 1/2 and 3/8 grade 100 is what we use. I've never stretched a link on grade 100.
