    I think that the second hook attaches to your trailer in case your winch fails. Just a safety measure as not all winch straps have the two hooks.

    Yes. It goes hooked to the eye on the trailer just below the winch. Purpose of it is to serve as a secondary safety measure in case the main one breaks from the actual winch.
