tow points

[28this]

If I am understanding correctly, I think Jeepin Al is saying this because when using a ball the weight force is at point a and b. (left and right side of the receiver where the pin comes in contact). From what you are saying Woody, if interperting right, with the strap, you have more of the weight force on the center of the pin point C and a little on A and B. (point C located between point a and b). Which in this case, there actually is more strain on the pin than what is when using the ball or even a receiver shackle. Again, this is theory. I don't know for sure. Clarifying how this strap is actually hooked to the pin mainly.
