Ultimate Recovery Kit

Size the rope to your rig, the one doing the pulling, not the one that's stuck. Go by its loaded weight: truck plus fuel, passengers, gear and a camper if you carry one. The size guide by the buy button has the range for each size, and the rope size calculator walks you through it. Over 15,000 lb, look at the Heavy Duty line.

A Kinetic-X rope in the size you pick, two soft shackles, one Hitch Hero, the Off-Road Recovery Cards, a rope instruction brochure and two stickers, all in one carry bag.

30 feet is the standard and the right call for most people. More rope means more stretch, more energy stored for the pull, and more room between the two rigs. 20 feet is for tight trails where you can't get 30 feet of straight line between the trucks, and it's a little lighter and cheaper. Same rope, same rating, just shorter. If you're not sure, get the 30.

The Ultimate is a rope, two soft shackles and one Hitch Hero: enough for a straight kinetic pull. The Titan's biggest step up is two bridles, so you can run one on each rig. Each bridle spreads the pull across two recovery points, which takes stress off the parts, keeps the pull centered even when the trucks aren't lined up, and keeps both vehicles in line. It also adds two more Hitch Heros, a third soft shackle, a pulley with the Anti-Tip Block, two D-rings and gloves, for rigging to trees, frames and control arms and for winch redirects. See the Titan Recovery Kit.

A 2 inch or bigger receiver, an A-arm, a frame, or any other solid metal component. Its sheath protects the shackle from raw metal edges as thin as 3/16 inch, so you don't need a receiver insert or a rated bumper point. Never rig to a tow ball.

Every Kinetic-X rope and shackle is pull-tested to failure by an independent lab in California before we publish a rating. Every rope carries its production date on the tag, so you always know how old it is.

Every piece carries a lifetime warranty under proper use, within its published service life. Ropes and shackles are good for 10 years stored properly, shaded and out of the weather, or 5 years if they live exposed in a truck bed, on a bumper or on a roof rack. They're retired after an overload or shock event. The full rules and the claim process are on the Warranty and Service Life page.
