can i use them to tow my truck?

They are not used for towing. They are safety chains in case the trailer becomes separated from the tow vehicle hitch while moving.

No. These are safety cables that go between the tow bar/hitch and frame to catch the trailer/vehicle being towed if the hitch comes loose.

I would think so. I bought them to charge a pull behind dump trailer when the battery would not work. The cables just do reach from the battery on my 350 truck to the back of my truck where the battery is on the trailer. These are the only cables I found that were long enough without going to the super expensive ones.

they are large but they are not much bigger than stock they have the built in spot on the bottom that makes them super for towing when not towing just retract them and you probably wont be able to tell much difference except for being able to see behind you so much better

I used them on a standard Ford ranger that was not lifted. Sorry I could not be of any help.

They are a little steep for a regular pickup, so probably not. Unless u had an elevated area to back up to wherever you were going.

Yes, you can use them with no problem. A lot of guys on the 4Runner forum do the same thing.

I have used these pullies in a "block and tackel" setup in my garage. They are way more heavy-duty than is necessary for what I use them for. I use them to suspend kayaks, surf boards and a boat (~250lb sunfish sail boat). I walk, work and park cars beneath them, and have for years. They work great for this type of applications.

I wouldn't do it. Their mounting is plenty strong for its intended purpose -- serving as a step up into the cab, but it is through-bolted to the pinch weld on the chassis -- not a suitable structure for supporting thousands of pounds.

Depends on the size of the truck - you would need to measure the distance between the wheel wells. Full size pick up would probably be ok, mid to small probably not.

They are not the best and, depending on the vehicle you are towing, modifications might be needed, but over all they get the job done. Primarily be safe and you might want to get a good set of towing chains to add some extra security.

They should hold okay provided they will line up mechanically. I would suggest a then piece of rubber between the truck bed and the ladder rack. If this is going on the bed of the truck it would make it very easy for someone to steal it and if you go this route good luck

Yes, as long as the item you're towing isn't larger than a small car and not for very long distances.

They're just shocks they won't raise it any.You'll probably need an add-a-leaf for towing or an air bag system of some sort

They will increase the amount of weight you can load in the bed of a pickup, I don't know if the will help pulling a trailer since I don't pull anything. The reason I purchase these were to stop wheel hop and they have done that.

It depends on how high your truck is now. You might want to carry some blocks to put on the ground under the jack.

Not designed to tow, the hook is small & can kind of hang a car on it but they don't stay on very well.

not stock, they are a high lift and will raise the back of your truck 2 to 3 full inches. You would have to use them in pairs to be even.
