Can Ratchet Straps Be Used with Erickson Stake Pocket Tie-Down Anchors
Question:
Do you have any information or videos showing a ratchet strap with wire hook/double j hook attached to this product? I have a 2012 Silverado 3500 diesel with 8 foot bed. When I carry two large hay bales roughly 500 lbs each? without my tailgate, the back most bale hangs out over the back approx 1 foot or so I take a ratchet strap around that part but hook into the bare metal in the stake pockets. As I recall, some of the packaging on similar products indicate that the user must not attach a ratchet strap to them. Is that so with this product too? Any info you can give along these lines would help. tks.

The issue with using a stake pocket mount tie down, such as # EM09085, with a ratchet strap is that you can over tighten a strap and cause the tie down to pull out with some force and it could damage the truck or hit someone. If you made it snug but did not try to ratchet it down as hard as you could then it would be fine. The only video we have on this product is the short review video linked for reference.
