The Heavy Duty Static Bridle pairs our industrial-grade recovery sling with two matching J-hook soft shackles to build a balanced, high-strength bridle for serious recoveries and towing. Connecting to two recovery points spreads the load evenly and reduces stress on any single mount.

The result keeps the recovered vehicle tracking straight, gives a centered and stable pull, and protects frames and mounts when angles get awkward. It also works as an extension when you need extra reach.

Why run a bridle:

Distributes the load across two recovery points to reduce stress on either one
Keeps the vehicle straighter for a more controlled, stable pull
Reduces the risk of failing a single recovery point
Handles awkward angles with a central, balanced pull
Doubles as a versatile extension strap when extra length is needed

Size and minimum breaking strength

System strength changes with the sling angle between the two legs — a narrower angle is stronger. Choose the configuration that matches the rig doing the recovery.

Configuration	90°	60°	45°	30°
7/16" sling + two 7/16" J-hook shackles	30,400 lbs	37,200 lbs	39,800 lbs	41,600 lbs
1/2" sling + two 7/16" J-hook shackles	43,500 lbs	53,200 lbs	56,800 lbs	59,400 lbs
5/8" sling + two 1/2" J-hook shackles	67,900 lbs	83,200 lbs	88,700 lbs	92,700 lbs
3/4" sling + two 5/8" J-hook shackles	82,600 lbs	101,300 lbs	108,100 lbs	113,000 lbs
1" sling + two 5/8" J-hook shackles	139,200 lbs	171,400 lbs	182,800 lbs	191,000 lbs

Size to the recovery vehicle

Match the bridle to the rig doing the pulling, not the one that is stuck, and keep the angle between the legs as narrow as the recovery points allow for maximum strength.

Safety note: rig to rated recovery points only, lay a dampener over the line, and keep everyone clear of the load path during a pull.
