Also tow ropes are for towing (good to also have) and ****** straps/kinetic ropes are for getting unstuck.
^^^^^ Agreed. ARB has a good reputation.

I have a couple of Smittybilt recovery straps for light recovery. Something reputable in the 20K - 30K lb range should work since it sounds like you might just need the occasional light pull. They range in strength from 20K to 40K lbs. For anything more than a light pull, I'm using my winch anyway.

A good kinetic rope and soft shackles are very handy.

Those are some great looking ropes, which some VERY similar looking ones will make it into my recovery gear soon enough

LOL. I know they will serve you well! I love mine, to bad I don't get to off-road more to use them. I need to get some videos and pics for the website that went live last night.

It helps to be direct with the USA factory and work with the rigging crew to perfect the ropes. That’s how you get a great product and excellent price. I’m online now.

Beginner question, can you actually tow from the 2 front rings? Anyone know the max capacity? Thanks

The beginner move is that you didn't put ALL your truck info into your signature, so we have no idea what truck you're talking about. Have you read the owner's manual? It's easier to search the free Ford PDF:

What do you mean by tow? We need more clarification on what you mean by this.
