35,000 lb has always worked for me

but now with big tires i have a tendancy to bury my truck to the headlight before digging out that strap so im gonna want a bigger one...and 60,000 lb strap is a bit much but i want one just to say i have one...plus i recover a lot of tractor trailers from the snow banks at the shop where i work so i need a big strap for that

Bigger is always better.

Bigger recovery point wouldn't hurt.
Neither would a bigger recovery strap.

I only talked to him for a breif 10 mins he got mad when i said i was going to do a 351w swap. He said a 302 can make more horsepower and torq than any 351w. My reply was simple "There is no replacement for displacement. After that he walked away. what struck my interest in the truck was the flowmaster exhaust and the lift kit not the flame paint job although its nice to see something unusual everyonce in a while.

they can....but then you dump that same amount of money into a 351 and it can make double the numbers that 302 did LOL

but i gotta ask...why the lime green grille?
