[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8861684, member: 689267"] You'd most certainly prefer to pull a 1-ton load with a truck that can pull 2 tons with ease, different altogether than tires, different relationships, different jobs. Would you use a 500lb wench to pull out a 500lb load, sure, but wouldn't you feel better using a 1000lb wench if it didn't cost you any more? Of course, you would. with few exceptions, I know as much as ANYONE at Crutchfield when it comes to this particular subject, not bragging but been doing this since before many of them were born. Don't get me wrong, they are great for recommending their products, especially adapters, harnesses, and the like. Why they would tell you what they did? It's simple, liability.
