Being that I'm new to heavy towing. I found this to be very helpful.

Back in my towing days ( started in 1970) we used a sling on everything because there were no under lifts or wheel lifts, God Bless and stay safe

Same w/ me--spent may a say in the seat of a Louisville 9000 w Holmes 600 and a drag winch.

U-bolt cups, one axle support j hook for the inner axle and one 3 inch axle ratchet strap. Done.

Tend to just use the ubolt attachments. Easy to line up and pick up. If imma go the sling route, I'm just gonna use a 20 foot 1/2 in and go from in front of the forward drive all the way to the back. Both axles supported and only using 2 chains

99% of the time I just grab the u bolts, but I already had the risers on from a previous tow and I’m just trying to show different ways of doing things for every one. There is 100 different wants anyone would hook to something. Just trying to help and show some of them.

@@TowManRines got ya. Yesterday I ended up using the wheel lift attachments for a coach bus. Those shit will stay on my truck for the next month before I take em off. Unless I absolutely have to take em off

@TowManRines Жыл бұрын

I’m the same way, but my luck is normally being the next tow would be a rear tow on a 26’ box truck or an over loaded garbage truck

You really just need one 10ft 1/2in chain for that tow. Why do people always want to make simple look hard?

Greetings from Ace Wrecker in Acworth GA. Where did you get the axle hooks/chains from.

Question. The chains don’t loosen that way if you hit a bump or a rough ride?

@Bryan-FAA-certified Ай бұрын

Do you prefer using those high riders vs the end caps

What’s size are those j hook s Liked that set up kick and easy

@TowManRines 2 жыл бұрын

They are grade 70 chains with the j having an 8” throat on it. If you google them it’s heavy duty axle chain. I haven’t been able to find any in stock any where for months

@charlestraylor4059 Жыл бұрын

Why not leave the risers were they ending up on the first pick? Is there a advantage to having them further out?

@TowManRines Жыл бұрын

I just wanted the weight of the truck to sit on the chains on the frame rail in steal of that flimsy part on the back. It’s just the way I like doing it and the most comfortable way to me while dragging trucks like that, that’s all.

@MrJohnAultman Жыл бұрын

It could slide side to side on the first pick

@medix1203 9 ай бұрын

I see those long u bolts under the last axel..... Why not put those in your receiver, chain the second axel , chain the truck down from the frame ,through the back shocks and to your tow bar and roll? I know there more that ine way to skin a cat... I just have had better success with that way over slingin a rig... Great video though... I learned something.

Those axle chains are tits! I know what I'm telling my boss to order Monday. Who makes them, b/a? So much better than running a chain across the frame and trying to fish it around under the axle with a kingpin puller.

@@TowManRines I'm in Canada hopefully we can get them here. I was thinking you would need four to sling it but two seemed to work just fine. I guess it can only go so far up against the spring stops. Thanks for the awsome video. I've never slung anything before, think I'm going to try it. Looks pretty quick. We have an NRC and a jerr-dan heavy, pretty sure the jerr-dan has similar hooks on the wheelbars in the tool box. It has the bus bars on most of the time but they are a pain in the ass to adjust as they are old and not too slidey anymore. I'd rather fork. The bus bars are good for motorhomes f550s and stuff like cube vans with 225/75r16s it'll go small enough for them.

@TowManRines 2 жыл бұрын

I know what you mean. We don’t have a bus bar on any of our trucks here and we have 7 heavies running every day. I do a lot of sling tows down here because we have a bunch of scales all within 50 miles of each other. I’ve always only chained up one side of the suspension, long as you get that one side tight, it won’t let the other side drop down much at all

@ruxoneto6560 Жыл бұрын

The easiest way is to run the tow chain under both axles up in front of front of drive axle up to frame then you are picking truck up by drive axles !

@nickcarnahan9981 Жыл бұрын

I've been taught to let the air out if the bags first before chaining up the axle. Is it the safe the way you had done it?

@TowManRines Жыл бұрын

When I moved the truck to a spot to get hooked up, I already flipped the dump valve on the dash for the bags to drain before I even started hooking up. Normally I do that or just disconnect the lines on the air bags soon as I back up to the unit before I start hooking up.

@MrJohnAultman Жыл бұрын

You don't really have to unless you just need more clearance. On the other hand, if you are picking by the u bolts then definitely yes.
