  • Recommendation for 60" Safety Cables with S-Hooks
  • For a safety cable kit close to the design of the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables - 7,500 lbs # BX88196 with a 60" length I recommend checking out the 64" Demco Straight Safety Cables - 14,000 lbs # DM9523055. We don't have any kits with 60" long cables but this is the closest length we have to what you're needing. The biggest difference between your Blue Ox cables and these Demco cables are the Demco cables are straight and don't have that coiled design. The coiled cables come in 42" and 80"...

  • Is There A 10,000lb Straight Safety Cable To Slide Through The Blackhawk 2 Tow Bar Channels
  • The highest capacity straight safety cable we currently carry that could be passed through the channels of the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain # RM-422 is only going to be the 8,000lb capacity Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-645. We do carry higher rated options but they already have the clevis attached on both ends so you wouldn't be able to pass them through the channels. All that being said the curb weight of a 2018 Ford F-150 ranges from 4,069 to 5,697lbs...

  • Cable Lock Recommendation for Use with BikeWing Bike Rack
  • The etrailer.com # e98891 is a good choice to secure your bikes to the NEO2 bike rack, part # B01748. If you ran the cable through the wheels and around the uprights of the rack, then through one of the safety chain holes in your hitch, you'd secure bikes to the rack and the rack to the hitch. I've linked you to a product demonstration video for the bike rack as well as for the cable lock. The Swagman Cable lock you mentioned would only be tested to work on Swagman bike racks.
