    Recommended ratchet straps for SxS.

    Wondering if there are some good ratchet straps that don't back off so easily when traveling. We found that the straps we were using (from Canadian Tire) for our SxS needed to be snugged up more often than we would have liked.

    I have had that happen with the cheaper smaller straps as well. You need some heavy duty atleast 3" wide ones. I got mine from a buddy who's a trucker. Not sure where he gets them. Maybe try Grainger

    Do you always use the same trailer? There are some that you install to go around each tire that work well. I use Erickson 3” yellow ratchet straps that work ok. I got them from Lordco

    I got the 2" wide ones from Princess Auto, seems to do the trick!

    Google shockstrap, can purchase from Amazon or CDN Tire. They work the best of all I have tried but pricy at about $90 / pair

    Also strap your side by side down through the rims or at the lowest point possible through the frame. I have a feeling it's not the straps backing off, but movement in your suspension of your machine.

    Stay away from the brand name ones at Costco. They are garbage.
    As stated go to Lordco and buy some real ones, you won't be disappointed.

    Go to a truck dealership and get some Kinedyne 3" ratchet straps. Or PM me and I'll get some for you. Not cheap, but they will be the last ones you buy.
