Tow Strap
Can someone recommend a good quality tow strap to carry for our TC setup. The whole outfit weighs about 12,000 pounds. I see all kinds for sale on Amazon etc, some with hooks, some without. Do...

I have lifting slings that have aged out for commercial use. I'm not going to do a snatch and grab recovery on the truck with TC, so I carry a combination 25K lb rated chain and lifting straps. Most likely any recovery will require a double line pulled winch to a solid anchor or to vehicle of similar size to mine that is blocked in place.
The front recovery hooks on a chassis cab are strong enough for a 19K+ lb GCW while I question some of the hooks on pickups. I would not use the safety chain loops on the back of a receiver. Assuming your receiver is strong enough, either slip the the strap into the receiver and pin it or use a stinger with a hook or ring rated for your GVW. If your receiver has less capacity than your current GVW, add recovery hooks to your rear frame rails.
