Dial in a clean, no-sag connection with straight cables that route neatly along your tow bar or trailer tongue. Pick a length that suits your rig so they're not stretched or dragging, and match the capacity to your setup, including flat towing. Double-check the hook size against your attachment points for an easy fit through channels, D-rings, or tabs.
They are intended for flat towing between a motorhome and a towed vehicle, not as a chain replacement on a heavy dump trailer. A 14,000 lb rating exists but in short lengths like 54" for flat towing. For a trailer, use hardware specifically rated and sized for that trailer's GVWR and tongue layout.
Match the length to your setup so the cables route cleanly without dragging. If you added a swing-away coupler or longer reach, go longer; if they seem excessive, consider a shorter option to reduce slack. Confirm whether the listed length includes the hook—some list cable-only from blunt tip to loop. If hooks are included, measure total usable length before ordering.
Installation is straightforward—attach to your tow bar and base plate points, and route to avoid sharp bends. They've been reported as working well over time, with shrink-fit ends and coatings that help. Check for rubbing on the frame that can wear the coating, and adjust routing or add protection to minimize abrasion.
Yes, Straight Cables are commonly used for flat towing. If your tow bar has a channel, route the cables through it for a clean run. Some hook-end systems pair with crossbar-style base plates but not direct-connect styles, so match the cable end style to your base plate. Check hook size against your attachment points; smaller hooks may need smaller D-rings to fit.
