Every link in a recovery chain must be rated. Soft shackles are popular on small rigs for their strength-to-weight and safety.
Why it matters on a Jimny

What to look for
- A working/breaking load clearly stamped or stated
- Soft shackles for light weight, bow shackles for fixed points
- Inspect for wear, cuts or deformation before every use
