This strap will infact stretch. They said it will stretch to about 18%. This obviously is load dependend. It is't gonna stretch no 18% recovering a Hyundai out of a ditch, but it will stretch if someone recovers me out of a ditch.
Certified Slings also has the rope you are talking about. Thay have some sweet stuff in there shop. I spent a good hour in there just dreaming of all the things I wanted but couldn't afford. I recommend if you guys are looking for custom stuff, give them a call. They would love to help out.

I think I am going to upgrade my shackles too. Currently I have 6.5t WLL shackles, but I think I might go to 8.5t or 12t shackles. Is that a little overkill? I know Logan, you think I have already over engineer the hell out of this situation. I appreciate you keeping an eye on me though. I still want to know what you have to say.
BTW, do any of you guys bridle the front end to distribute weight between the two hooks when you are getting recovered?
