How much tow strap do you need?

See the link for tow straps with ratings from 20,000 to 120,000 lbs.  The prices are actually quite good for the 20,000 lb straps.

as far as offroading goes, the common ones i have seen are a combination of: 2" or 3" thick, 20' or 30' long and 20,000 or 30,000 pound ratings

I run a 4''x30' strap with sliding cordura pieces to keep the strap from damage and the ends have cordura on them as well.  They don't make them anymore according to their site but I love my strap.


HERE is some great info on how to choose a strap.
