A quick google shows that the rated load capacity on the Rosebrand Steelfex sling is #10,600 and another quick google for "aircraft basket weight capacity" shows an average of around #8,800 for 1/2" AC Basket. As soon as you choke you are more than halving the capacity you can safely load. Let's say you are using a 1/2" Shackle, avg SWL is #6,500 so you are really limited by your hardware as opposed to your slings.
I would advise reading a basic book on rigging, just to brush up on some of your basics.
