[QUOTE="Deezel, post: 1240444, member: 16800"] Most people are already carrying these but I always keep ratchet straps in my truck. I've used them just like these trac grabber deals: [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BDWRECU/?tag=fordraptorforum-20']https://www.amazon.com/Trac-Grabber-Unstuck-Traction-Solution-Cars/dp/B01BDWRECU[/URL] You can run them thru your wheel spokes and put the metal ratchet piece on top of your tire and cinch them down. MAKE SURE you have plenty of fender clearance, but on raptors we should all be good. I would not use them on the front wheels due to lack of clearance when turning. Also try to keep the wheel spin and speed to a minimum to keep from destroying the ratcheting piece and sending shrapnel everywhere lol. Here's a video demonstrating using a 2x4 but I've never needed to go that far, nor do I like that giant piece of wood flinging around all over hell. If that thing comes undone you're likely to seriously jack up your fender at a minimum and possibly shredding brake lines or smashing up your shocks.. Gives you the idea though.

After the mud event the ratchet strap was pretty much toast though (I had to cut the strap off the tire), so I would try to use some cheap ones if possible. I have yet to try the trac grabbers but they do look intriguing. [/QUOTE]
