OK time to get a new strap, Broke the last one pulling out a heavy ass dodge. I beleive the last one was a 20k break strength... I'm thinking a 60k break strength/ no hooks. Any suggestions??
 
I got my 60k break strength and snapped it the second time I used it. Now Ive got one from the army surpluss store over here that is made up of six 20k straps all bound together. Only cost 20 bucks too.
 
Some things you have to consider when talking about straps.
1. pulling is one thing, yanking is another. Much more stress on the strap when you yank with it.
2. Straps have to be taken care of. If you allow it to drag on rocks, dip in the mud and so on, that causes damage. Just like a climbing rope the "other" rock climbers use, a little bit of grit that works it's way inside of the strap or rope, is like a knife as it cuts fibers, weakening the strength.
 
PORC sells a 4" 40k strap for cheap.
