Default ****** block for winch?

I know that you should not cut corners when safety is involved, but 50 bucks is a lot for a pulley.
50 bucks is like 2 hours pay for me it better to be safe then sorry so SPEND the dam 50 bucks

50 dollars is a LOT more than 2 hours pay for me, but after looking at both pulley blocks, I'd say that the cheaper one is of completely acceptable quality for this application.

I may have the paper that came with it on my desk at home, I'm not sure and I'm at the lake.

The ****** block seems to be of suitable quality. The straps also seem quite strong.

I ripped open the loop on the long strap by trying to "yank" out my very stuck sportsman with my 250. I backed bumper to bumper and gassed it, apparently 8 ft of full throttle was too much for the stitching. I must say that the strap itself is strong enough, though. I tied a loop in the end and it held up to the same pull fine. So the stitching is a little subpar, but the strap is plenty strong.
But the kit is worth it for the ****** block alone.

I'll look for those numbers if I can find them when I get home, prolly sunday nite.
