Expert Answers about Dodge Ratchet Straps


  • Length of Ratchet Strap
  • Hey Matthew, thanks for reaching out! The Titan Chain Ratchet Tie-Down Strap with Flat Hooks # TCLR22021-1 measures 19" from the end of the hook to the pin in the ratchet part. None of our other ratchet kits will have anything much different than that unfortunately.

  • Will Retractable Ratchet Straps for Thule TracRac Truck Bed Ladder Racks Rust
  • The Retractable Ratchet Straps for Thule TracRac Truck Bed Ladder Racks # CBTH12 have a corrosion resistant steel body and a stainless steel spring. However, if you plan to leave them outside all of the time exposed to the elements I would expect the body to eventfully start to rust. If you keep the mechanism lubricated, or at least park your truck inside the garage, it will help prolong the life of the straps.

  • Are Retractable Straps Available With a Cam Buckle Mechanism?
  • The only retractable straps we carry are ratcheting like the Buyers # 3375480011 you found or the Erickson # EM34416. I also was unable to find anyone online making those types of straps.

  • Trailer for Sea Eagle Stealth Stalker 10
  • For your Sea Eagle Stealth Stalker 10 I recommend the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870. In addition to the bunk boards it comes with I would also add the CE Smith Carpeted Johnboat Bunk Board for Boat Trailers # CE27850 up on the tongue for extra support. You can secure it by the front handle using the winch and then add some ratchet straps like # e82JR for the sides and # IMF08893 to secure it by the rear handles. You may not need ratchet straps that...

  • Cargo Net Divider For Interior of 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
  • From what I was able to find, the interior dimensions of your 2012 Sprinter are 72" x 70". You could use a cargo net like the Gladiator # GC94FR which is 6' 9" x 8'. There will be a little extra but nothing overly excessive. It comes with 4 ratchet straps but you could add some like the # EM04418 for added security. The ratchet straps will make it easily removable when not in use. Then you would need to mount your D-rings like the # 3486554 or # 337B46 if you don't already have them....

  • Availability of CargoBuckle Without Ladder Rack Bracket
  • A CargoBuckle strap like the # IMF18816 you got is only available with the ladder rack mounting bracket. They don't offer it separately or as a replacement without the bracket. If you want more of the same without the bracket the only option would be to get another set of the # IMF18816 and pull the bracket off. If you don't mind a different hook style the CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Straps # IMF18800 don't come with a bracket they just bolt on. The straps are 2" x 6'...

  • How Many Additional Straps Are Required to Carry 3 Kayaks With Yakima BigStack
  • You will want a bow/stern tie-down for each kayak so the Yakima Bow/Stern Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops # Y04031 will cover the other two kayaks. You may also want the # Y07416 to go with them. I reached out to Yakima about the additional cinch straps and they said it all depends on the size of the kayaks. They said if they're too wide additional straps # Y05006 are necessary and said it would be best to get the straps just in case since you will regularly carry three. They...

  • Solution for Bike Rack for Finn Cycle With 6-1/2" Wide Rear Tire
  • The fat tire straps for the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B can only accommodate tires up to 5" so the 6-1/2" tires won't work with this bike rack. Since none of the bike racks are going to be able to fit those tires, I recommend the etrailer Aluminum Motorcycle Carrier for 2" Hitches # e56UR. It won't be as convenient as a bike rack since you will have to use ratchet straps to secure it but as far as I know it is the only option outside of a trailer to transport your Finn Cycle.

  • How To Lock Steering Wheel of Vehicle that is Towed on Tow Dolly
  • Hey Dave great question. So some people will use the seat belt to lock the steering wheel. To do this wrap the seat belt around the steering wheel a few times and then buckle it and then pull the seat belt all the way out so that it's ratcheting and let it go and it will be locked to the steering wheel and hold it straight. You can pull on the steering wheel side of the seat belt to take out as much slack as possible so that it won't slip. To undo this you would just unbuckle the seat belt.

  • Can Two Heavy E-Bikes Be Used With a 2013 Kia Forte
  • Terrance, it could potentially work if you're able to shed some weight on your bikes. If you're able to free up about 10 pounds on each bike you could then use the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # SA4025F and you'd be still under your max tongue weight. If not, your only real choice would be to store them inside your car if at all possible, or you could try and use the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # C18110 with some ratchet straps. You'd ideally just...

  • Can you Increase the Towing Capacity on a 2015 Jayco Precept 29UM on Ford F-53 Chassis?
  • So your 2015 Jayco Precept 29UM is on a Ford F-53 18K chassis which is the limiting factor with a towing capacity of 5,000lbs. I believe this is the restriction you are having. The Curt Receiver # C14048 you found while having a higher rating will not increase your towing capacity. If you can find a lighter trailer or vehicle to tow you can install a Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV with the Wiring Adapter # C51322 which will connect under your dash. Check out the...

  • Can Thule Helium Pro Carry Single 52 lb E-Bike
  • The overall capacity of the Thule Helium Pro is 75 lbs but you really can't exceed the 37-1/2 lbs per bike. The individual positions aren't able to handle the increased weight, especially at 52 lbs. The only way you might be able to use this carrier for your e-bike is if you removed the battery and it got the weight down enough. I'm not sure what else you're looking at, but if you only need to carry your single e-bike I recommend the RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10007. This has a 60 lb capacity...

  • Recommended Easiest Bike Rack to Install on a Vehicle
  • Welcome back! It looks like you purchased one of the older SportRack 2EZ bike racks from us. The easiest bike rack we have that will work on both your RAV-4 and your 2016 Toyota Prius V is going to be the Thule EasyFold XT item # TH903202. This bike rack fits all 1-1/4" and 2" hitches and uses an AutoAttach system instead of a hitch pin you have to line up. This AutoAttach function is spring loaded and connects to the hitch pin hole automatically as you slide it into the receiver. The...
