Question: What is best method to winch a SS onto a flatbed?

Wrap a soft axle strap around the control arms and pull onto the truck. Its not a heavy machine so it won't bother the control arms. I strap mine down with the control arms every time its on the trailer...

Last time I had to have it towed I needed (4) 24" 2x4 boards placed in front of the tires to allow the front to clear the tow trucks tilt bed

Would winching from the roll bars work?

when pulling something like car or a SS you really want to pull from the lowest point possible .

Best answer so far, 'cuz otherwise you & the front end of the sling be screwed without additional ramps. Remember- if it don't work going onto the flatbed- won't be any better at the other end- unloading!

Bump to an old thread. This is just to show I really tried to look before I asked. I am now at the point where I want to winch SS onto my trailer. Looking for advice on where to hook it up. I'm actually using a manual winch almost exactly like one for a boat. It's rated at 2000 pounds. The winch is mounted 24 inches above the floor of the trailer. I have purchased two lifting strap slings from Harbor Freight. Thought behind that is two straps hooked to SS and then to one winch allowing me to pull evenly from both sides. Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you putting SS on from front or pulling it from rear?

Bullet Speed has a front tow bar and hook that will be available soon. I saw it listed on SlingMods and it will cost $129.99. This might be what is needed if pulling from the front.

Undecided. Just not sure yet.

That is good location for a tow hook. It would be better if the entire piece was removable.
Won't work on mine because of my splitter that's why I made the spreader bar

That looks awesome. I purchased two winch straps that might work similar.

You just need to pay close attention to the angle of the ramp so the straps do not hit the body. If you do not have a splitter and the bottom is open you can use the lower A arms.
I have to use the uppers and i have to put an extension to raise my winch and change the angle of the cable

Thanks for the input. I am going to test if I can ever stop working long enough.

I bought a six foot strap from Harbor Freight purple in color and two hooks attached each end, hook front a arms and winch from front. Keep winch low and you will not hit spoiler at all. Hooks actually came off an old ratchet strap. You can always use snatch block, also at HF to keep winch cable low.

JUST SAYIN

I already have two of the yellow ones. They are 6500 pounds which is overkill but they were out of the 2000 pound purple ones. The Labor Day sale nearly emptied the Harbor Freights around me.
