Recovery strap recommendations?

[el_kab0ng]

I've been watching Ronny Dahl YouTube videos of his off-road 4WD adventures which has taught me alot about mods, recovery gear, etc. The question I have for the community is which recovery strap system do you guys use?

I'm thinking about the Zilla 35ft recovery strap since it doesn't require any metal parts and looks like what I need.

Zilla Strap - 2 in. x 35 ft. Recovery Strap | 4WheelParts.com

The only thing I can't tell is if it has the flexible shock load absorbing capabilities or if it's just a straight strap with no give. Have any of you guys used this system before? If not, what sort of system have you used and would recommend?

Looks like a straight strap with no give. A WWL of 4,000lbs is low, if you shock load it or if you are stuck deep you will pass that easily. It's a neat idea though. If you want a non-flex strap there are better, cheaper, higher rated options.

Or an actual snatch rope

Yeah.. I like the idea of not having to use D-shackles, but it seems if I want the real deal (ARB Snatch Strap) then I'm stuck with them.

I have the Snatch straps. Used it for multiple recoveries. Very durable and high quality.

why is that?

I needed to do a little more research, apparently, as I wound up with a bubba rope and soft shackles.

I bought these from someone on Steel Soldiers.

45k pound straps. They're doubled up, a strap in a strap, so I separated them.

I bought 3 or 4, and have twice that now, and with, I'm safe to say, at least a 20k pound limit.

As others have said. . .ARB snatch strap. Used it on a few full size trucks, and on one I couldn't get to, we hooked it up to a tractor and pulled and f150 with no problem. I think for recovery gear or something like this, usually in these scenarios the last thing you want to do is go cheap and possibly cause a bigger issue if the item was to fail. But I always keep mine in the back in an ammo can with some d-shackles just in case. Hope it helps and good luck
