Seems like the perfect day to introduce this lifting ring I made. All of the parts are from eBay. The total cost including all shipping was $157.00 Parts include 17" diameter x 1/4" steel plate, 8" diameter x 1/4 inch steel plate, 8 - 3 bar strap adjusters, 1 - 2,500 lb. hoist ring, 8 - 3" x 5" x 1/2" thread square U bolts, (came with flat washers and nuts), 16- 1/2" nuts (nylon locks), 1 - grade 8 1/2" bolt (to fasten hoist ring). I had some orange spray paint but had to buy a can of black for $8.99 (WTF used to be 4.99). It's included in the total cost, but optional of course. The total cost does not include straps. For those I bought 4 - 2" x 20" recovery straps which have 20,000 lb. strength. I cut them in half to make 8 straps. The 4 straps cost 14.95 ea. on Amazon. I also used a 1/2" cobalt drill bit which I already have.
