What break strength do I need?

A common rule of thumb cited across off-road communities is to pick a strap or rope rated 2-3x the gross vehicle weight of the heavier vehicle in the recovery. For most half-ton trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps that means a 20,000-30,000 lb break strength static strap or a kinetic rope in the 30,000-48,000 lb range. Heavier 3/4-ton and full-size rigs benefit from straps in the 24,000+ lb working class like ARB's wider models.
