I personally use a 1" D-ring for connecting straps but you need a line weight for each strap when you do

when winching or recovery there is alot of stress on the line, if any component fails that metal end or cable can hurt someone or cause damage that can be avoided with a line weight. If it does happen to break it will (hopefully) fall to the ground avoiding any damage or injuries



and like I said I have seem people use dog packs filled with weights as a line weight before even
