What Size And Strength of Shackles Should I Buy?

Size: depends on the size of your other equipment. The most common flexible cable is 2 inches wide, and its interface ring has an inner diameter of about 1 inch, so choosing a 3/4 inch or 1-inch hole diameter shackle is a perfect match.

Strength (WLL): Your shackle strength must be higher than the strength of your soft cable, trailer strap, and trailer point. Usually 4.75 tons (10500 lbs) is a good starting point to meet the rescue needs of most off-road vehicles. If the vehicle is heavier or uses high-strength pulley systems, it is recommended to choose 6.5 tons or 9 tons or even higher.
