    I just about use my 2" ones daily but I find the 4" to be clunky and cumbersome.

    + Pyramid pipe loads usually require 2 to belly strap.

    I've never heard of Ancra straps before. Pretty decent? Where did you purchase them from?

    I have some Ancra straps, I think I bought them from Mutual Wheel. They seem to hold up well enough but the hooks are a little wide. They won’t go through stake pockets.

    I'm pretty sure they're almost on par with Kinedyne, or a slight step below. I got them at an outfit about 30 miles from San Antonio. I got all my stuff there. 3/8 chains and Crosby boomers, edge protection, etc. It's a sling place that custom builds chain, slings and that kind of stuff. They pull test for certification too. It was in Lovett I think. I'd have to get the invoice.

    Cause I'm one bad mutha trucka. They know I can move across the country in a truck faster than they can in a effing aeroplane. That's right dude, I'm one serious hombre... come get you some!





    Honestly, I have no idea but it's their dime and as long as they pay, we'll play.

    It seems like you have to have a stake pocket to use those winches. I often use the four-inch hand ratchets attaching back to the strap to Choke a load. They also wouldn’t work in a quickdraw trailer, they would possibly hit the tarp kit. Most of the time I’m pulling a trailer that doesn’t have any stake pockets so obviously they would be useless. They wouldn’t work for wide loads either. This isn’t an issue for a person only pulls a flatbed or a step deck.
