i have one .that takes a extension liked pictured ratchet.
use your standard bar with the ratchet winch ,its top dog and easy .

 

AT, get you a piece of pipe and weld it to the one you have know. I did that to one of mine, got a two feet piece of pipe that would barley slide over the bar and welded it to it. Worked perfect and was cheap.

 

Just remember you buy a long one and lose it..... Gonna need a knife or a fat guy to get your straps off.

 

I keep a spare winch bar in 1 of my boxes and my binder pipe fits over my winch bar. Best of both worlds.

 

I use some thing similar, I slide one of my pipe stakes over the winch bar whenever I need help.

 

Ancra states that 4" strap is properly tightened with 100lb/ft at the end of a 34" winch pipe.

So accordingly, if you lift yourself off of the ground tightening these winches they are over tightened unless you are a 98 lb weakling.

A 48" bar is overkill.

 

You need to start eating truck stop food.

If you ever tarping a load and the wind takes the tarp please let go of the tarp we may never ever see you again.
