I want to use these with a tow strap and feed it through the front tow loop on my F150. Are these a good choice?

They are for sure strong enough to use on the F150 to tow someone out or be towed out. Besides my Jeep I have a Crew Cab Chevy 4 x 4 and I also keep them in it to use incase they are needed....

I've only used on my Fender P-bass (which is pretty heavy). These did not work well (tried 2 sets). While I think they would do better on something lighter, personally I wouldn't trust them, especially with something expensive. Go with strap-locks.

I can't tell you how low they can go but what I can tell you is that at their lowest level they are too high for my Volvo but they do work at the level for my Van at that height. They would be great for a 4 wheel drive rig... They are a good strong jack so be okay with that but do use other back up blocks for your safety. If you are looking for ones for a car these are probably not for you!!!! ;o)>

They are pretty good. If ur going to be offroading with it and hitting trees and stuff it's pretty good. My bumper mounted one has a gaurd protecting it. My roof one the mounts have held up great

I've heard of people using them with no issues. I personally use the rally harness.

I bought these for a tow behind RV and they work and look fine. As long as you get the correct lug set (5 or 6 lugs) and the correct load rating you will be fine. The ST designation is for trailer use only.

Yes they worked great. 98 rangers are famous for the vacuum system locking hubs failing. For the price, can't go wrong and you know you will have 4WD.

I don't know if they make these for coil springs that are found on the front suspension of a truck. But these are made for leaf springs that are typically found on the rear of your truck. So I guess if you have leaf springs on the front of your truck they would work, but this is rather uncommon.

Hello, as long as you have a mount for d-rings you should be good to use these and a recovery strap.

They are pretty universal. The "hook" end grabs the underside of the top of the factory equipped truck bed's stake rail . Only if your truck is a flatbed with no sides it will not work.

If you can compress the rubber they will probably work fine. I use these on all of my guitars and straps and I have a few straps that the leather is kind of think and they work. I recommend using a wrench to tighten them through and check them periodically to make sure that they are not loosening up from movement.

The bags run from the bottom of the coil spring to about half an inch from the top, so your truck would have to squat less than an inch before these kick in. Hope that helps.

I installed them on my 2006 F150 without factory lights. They work and look great. You have to still holes in your roof to run the wires and mount them. I've had them on for a few years and they still work and don't leak at all. Buy them up, you will not be disappointed!

I use these brakes on both 2002 Ford Explorer and a set that fits my 2005 f150. I tow my trophy fishing boat about 4000 lbs with the truck mostly. These brakes are by far the best setup for me.... Smooth stopping power.

Just to be on the safe side, I'd probably fabricate a j bolt out of something heavier. They work fine for my Tacoma but might not for what you re doing.

I think so...I have the same type on my 2001 Ford Expedition for camper towing trips. They seemed to work fairly well.

Well I imagine that if somebody took their head off with a strut spring they wouldn't be on amazon to write about it :-). That said I have used it a few times on different vehicles and it seems to be good quality, I wouldn't hesitate to use it on an F150. Just make sure to keep the threads lubbed!
