I think if you just get a good set up, I would not worry to much about the numbers. Also when you are figuring that, you are not pulling dead weight. Your truck is on wheels...that changes a lot.

That's true, I didn't think of that. I guess I was looking at it from a safer than sorry point of view. Rather try to get done right the first time.
I had a 2 inch strap that was rated to 15,000 in my Ram half ton. I pulled tons of people out and got pulled a few times myself and never felt like I was stessing the strap.
You make me feel better about not getting the biggest baddest strap out there.
