<p>[QUOTE="MrEd, post: 8674367, member: 71030"]Your link just went to their main webpage. Not to a particular product. But it dont matter. I do not need more stuff to do my job. I do it above all standards. Always have. Almost every new product I've seen, at least lately, are solutions looking for a problem that dont exist. Unless you have some unusual equipment, or do something dumb, you will NEVER have winches hitting drive tires on either a stepdeck or a regular flat. And winches wont even go above trlr tires on a stepdeck. And it is easy to load correctly so that you dont need to put winches directly over trlr tires on a regular flat. I do carry 1 4 inch rachet. I have never wanted a second one, and have never used it unless pulling a stepdeck. My current truck has 519k on it. And the drive tires have been traded out, but they had no winch damage when they were. And trailer tires are significantly more likely to be damaged by curbs and other road hazards, or simply by improper inflation than by a winch. All of this concern about winch damage is misplaced. There are much more likely problems to worry about than winch damage. But again, watch your particular equipment and go from there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
