Winch extension strap - which load rating?

[LR Max]

Where there is no mechanical advantage is when you're using a pulley to change the direction of a pull, like around a corner.

Indeed. Also this is the only time I've never needed a pulley block. I've never had to use it for my own recovery, only for recovering others/moving heavy crap.

I kinda feel like the point is moot since I've used my winch to pull myself out of chassis deep mud or pull a truck up that had driven off the side of the mountain...all on single line pull.

Max, you forget what site you're on here though. If you don't have fifteen 30K lb. snatch blocks rigged up so your winch is only exerting finger pressure to move your truck on a dirt road you don't know how to winch. Merely saying "single line pull" might get you banned here!
Come on man, wake up!

Am I remembering right that you have a SWB Series with 12,000lb winch on a it? That makes a big difference, even on a LWB.
