[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 348690, member: 816"] plus 10 on the drop hitch. we had one break on us once. just a 10 foot strap. so, not much stretch. but, it still caved in my end gate. learnt a couple of things that day. the one thing i was extremely surprised about though was... just like the one in the picture, my buddies hitch was a hollow tube. cheap piece of shit. i've never owned a hollow tube tow hitch. i've heard of chains by themselves slingshotting before though. never seen it. and always questioned how or whether a rope was also involved as well and was told at least twice that there was no rope. not sure if true or not. but, i was told the stuck tractor accident this spring west of devils lake involved no rope and just a chain. anyone? its tough to know the working load limit on any random chain as well unless you purchased it yourself or the links happen to be labeled. anyway, we use a very heavy strap at each end (if necessary) to connect to each truck and a big nylon rope betwixt them.
