Question:
If I have to back the D-ring off up to one turn to get the angle right for tying down a load, does that change the weight rating?

Hey, Shane.
No, backing the D-ring part # DR1S wont affect it's weight capacity. You would just want to make sure to tighten it down when you don't use it so that you don't keep unthreading it.
What are you planning to hold down with these?
