I installed front recovery points on my 2017 4runner SR5.
Before I have to use them I have a few questions about the safest technique.
Each recovery points (2) are rated 7,165 lbs each.
My bow shackles are rated 8,000 lbs.
My first concern is the difference between the thickness of the recovery point and the opening of the shackle.
Particularly when the load is at an angle, best case would be a straight pull using both recovery points.
Would it be safer to flip the shackle upside down?
These recovery points have squared edges that would not be good with soft shackles.
I am prepping some rear recovery points that have rounded edges that I'll use with soft shackles.
So for the front, using the bow shackles. What is my safest option?
Thank you for sharing your experience.
