"R Hooks"

[DublinOH]

In a previous thread I found reference to "R Hooks" as the best way to tie a Gen II viper down. Can someone point me to a website and specific part number so I can be sure to order the correct ones? My existing ratchet straps have a "J Hook". How do most folks interface the two?

Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

The T-Hook is what I have used for years for my Gen-2. Here is a link to purchase same.

Fred is kinda the resident racing expert here, but I never used that hook. I did use "R" hooks, those things locked in place and nothing would move, I've seen many use "J" hooks and they seem to work fine, I haven't heard of any problems. I used 4 "R" hooks and 4 10,000 lb. ratchet straps, on an open trailer.

SoCal Rebell, thanks, but I am not expert in this area.

J-hooks R-hooks, T-hooks - A few years ago when I started towing someone suggested the what I posted above and I thought at the time it was a J-hook?

The only thing I can say is that the T-hooks have worked for me.

Others use the R-hooks?

It would be nice to know what is used on the Viper by Reliable?

I use R hooks in the front. No hooks needed in the back. Seem to work fine.

I needed 4, I think I towed faster then drove on the track

Another vote for the AW direct hooks.
