Does a 2 pack mean enough mounts to hang one or two kayaks? Yes, but…It comes with enough pulleys, hooks and straps (4 hook pulleys, 2 ceiling mount locking pulleys, 2 ceiling mount non-lock pulleys) and 4 straps, 2 cleats, plus necessary bolts and screws. That's enough to hang two separate kayaks. But, it's possible you will need purchase additional rope for the second kayak pulley system. Not a big deal, I think.

Anyone use anything to keep straps from spreading besides the string across the hooks? I want to avoid the horror stories of the kayak slipping out. Yes. The bottom of my kayaks are very slick and I had one strap slip while lifting one day. I have 10-foot kayaks. My pulleys are 6-feet apart. I tied a 6-foot piece of string on the straps under the kayaks so they don’t spread. I’ve had no problem since.

how far do the pulleys hang down from the ceiling? Depends on how you mount it, but it's not even the pulleys that are the problem as much as the hooks—they're very long. I threw out all my measurements, but the pulleys can be cinched up to about 6-inches from the ceiling when directly mounted, meaning NOT using the provided brackets that would hang them lower. I have a 10' ceiling and 17' boats that needed to hang above the garage door when open. To squeeze them in, I directly mounted the pulleys to the ceiling, which required taking the pulleys apart, which aren't designed to come apart, so I had to drill out the riveted axles and replace them with clevis pins. For the traveling pulleys, I had to do the same, but so that I could set a pair of low profile shackles inside the provided bracket instead of using the long hooks (see my review). On top of that, I have the straps as tight around the boats as I can get them.

Where is it made? Country of origin? I'm sure you can guess. No lables on the parts, but the box says made in China. I'm glad you're checking. I'm doing the same now.
