Can SmartStraps Adjustable Wheel Net be Installed with Anchor Points Outside Center Line of Wheel
Published 10/23/2019
Question:
Ideally how far away should the anchor be in front of and behind each wheel of Jeep. What angle from wheel is best for strap. Can D ring anchors be used off to the side just inside fenders of flatbed trailer or does that stress pulling the wheel too much laterally? Thanks

Expert Reply:
Ideally you'd want the anchor points for a wheel net like the SmartStraps # 348851 to be in-line with the wheel, but since these are rated for 3,333 lbs (each) and you're using them for a Jeep you'll be perfectly safe to install them slightly off-centered. In fact, the demonstration picture from SmartStraps shows them slightly off-centered (see attached). The lateral pull wouldn't stress your tires out.
