I agree, chains are the best to use. The best ones you can get are Grade 80, rated for overhead lifiting and should have a safety inspection tag from the factory attached to both ends. I keep a 25ft 7/16" chain with regular hooks on both ends, and a 20ft 1/2" logging chain with a regular hook on one end, and a slip hook on the other in the truck. I also keep some heavy duty Crosby clevises in the truck too. I have one that's 3/4" diameter rated for 6 1/2 tons, and three 5/8" diameter rated for 4 1/2 tons. The screw pin on the 5/8" will fit in a standard trailer hitch ball hole on a step bumper so those are always good to have.
