Bow Shackles
Jim-Willy:
What rating do you use, mine are 3.25 tons and I was gono buy a couple more, I saw some at 4.75, is this overkill, I drive a 90 and aren't planning on recovering a stolli or owt?
Wanderer:
You need to allow for the weight of the vehicle while being moved across the ground as well as the gloop effect of mud which can double the weight of the vehicle.
I don't think there's such a thing as overkill when your (in effect) lifting something. If a shackle goes it goes with a heck of a bang.

I have seen 10T shackles bend. It all depends on the circumstances on the day.
Jim-Willy:
Now you've got me worried, should i reserve the shackes i've got for light use and buy some heavy ones for general use. I ship to Sweden week after next for the offroad tour and plan on getting stuck, I need to trust my kit?!
