ARB Premium Recovery Kit Sii (RK9A)
ARB Premium Recovery Kit Sii (RK9A)
The ARB Premium Recovery Kit (RK9A) is a 9-piece bag of gear for pulling a stuck 4x4 back onto solid ground. The headliner is a 17,600 lb snatch strap with 20% genuine stretch — it stores energy as the recovery vehicle rolls forward, then springs the bogged rig free while easing the shock on both trucks. The strap suits a gross vehicle weight of roughly 5,800 to 8,800 lb, which covers most full-size trucks, SUVs, and overland tow rigs.
Around that strap, the kit fills in the rest of a real recovery: a 9,900 lb winch extension strap to reach farther, a 19,800 lb competition snatch block to redirect a winch line or double its pulling power, a 26,000 lb tree trunk protector so you can anchor to a tree without killing it, two 4.75-ton (19 mm) galvanized bow shackles to tie it all together, a recovery damper, and a pair of leather gloves. Every strap is color-coded so you grab the right one without untangling the pile.
It all lives in a 600gsm PVC bag (20 x 12 x 12 in) with named compartments, dedicated shackle holders, and a #10 zipper. The PVC shell wipes clean and keeps the mud and damp out, so the kit you packed dry is the kit you pull out next trip.

Use cases
Most owners reach for it on self- and buddy-recoveries when a full-size 4x4 or overland build sinks in sand or mud. Because everything is sized as a set and color-coded, you're not piecing a kit together part by part — you grab one bag and you have the strap, the extension, the snatch block, and the shackles ready to go.

What vehicles is this kit sized for?
The 17,600 lb snatch strap suits a gross vehicle weight of about 5,800 to 8,800 lb, which covers most full-size trucks, SUVs, and overland tow rigs.
Does it include a winch?
No. This is the strap, shackle, and snatch-block side of recovery. A 9,900 lb winch extension strap is included so your own winch can reach farther, but you supply the winch.
What does the recovery damper do?
It drapes over the strap during a pull. If a line lets go, the weight forces it toward the ground instead of letting it whip back. It also gives you a clean spot to set shackles and gloves.
Why does the snatch strap stretch?
The 20% stretch lets the strap store energy as the recovery vehicle rolls forward, then release it to pop the stuck rig out. That spring action eases the shock load on both vehicles compared to a stiff tow strap.
What's the snatch block for?
It redirects a winch line for a straighter pull when your anchor isn't lined up, or it doubles your effective pulling power. It's rated 19,800 lb and the tapered groove keeps the line seated.
Why use the tree trunk protector instead of wrapping the strap around a tree?
The wide 26,000 lb webbing spreads the load so it won't girdle and kill the tree, and it keeps your strap from getting chewed up on the bark.
How do I keep the gear in good shape?
Rinse and dry the straps before packing them. The 600gsm PVC bag wipes clean, and the named compartments keep each piece sorted so nothing gets buried.
How do I pick the right strap for the recovery?
Match the strap to the stuck vehicle's weight and stay inside the rated range. Don't snatch a rig heavier than the strap is sized for.
