Just do as I do, use a 5t ratchet strap. Lets you take all the slack out before using the jack to winch. About £18 for a ratchet strap.

Suvvey:
Hmmmmmmm, thats an idea :D  Not heard it before but I like it :wink:

Suvvey:
Do you use 2? One to winch and the other to take the strain whilst resetting the jack?

paul_humphreys:
From the jack to a tree strop, use the ratchet till its tight and then use the jack. the rachets I carry are rated to 5t and I have not broke one yet. Also they are lighter than a chain. Get a long one as it gives you more scope to work.

I carry 3 just in case. You could use one to hole it till you reset the jack, but I would not trust it too much.

Suvvey:
Well the jack should give before the straps do so no worries there. Just thinking you would need 2 (the second between the tree strop and vehicle) if you needed to winch it more than 4ft otherwise you would need to chock the vehicle each time you reset the jack.
