And your 6" still resides proudly in my Trucktor. We definitely know how to use these correctly. 30 plus years of experience, various weights and sizes.
Rural King has 6" straps for under $100.
Stumps need to be dug out, not pulled out. Even a small stump is amazingly stout. If you insist on pulling, get as much weight as you can in the bed of the truck.
Just make sure it's a strap that stretches. DO NOT use rigging straps. They are rigid, just like a chain. The beauty of the snatchin' strap is their ability to stretch and store energy, allowing more force to extract a stuck vehicle. Make sure to use secure mounting points. Above all, BE SAFE.

I have put over 5000 miles on my 932. There is no need for...
Whatever you choose, it would be a good idea to insulate the underside of the hood also. This will considerably lower the interior noise level. I find the best way to make mine quieter is to remove the top. But that is only feasible in three out of four seasons.
