I don't think it would pull a roller up on a trailer....
I have a 4500 on mine and it worked pulling a
Ford Ranger up the ramps on level ground

Several weeks ago it pulled a 72 Camero up
it on a slight decline with no trouble though
Whoa...are you moonlighting as a car hauler?

Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Double triangulated 4 link and air shocks.

I have very little weight in the rear, so steep drop offs make me nervous since they unload. I started to cartwheel once at Golden, and coming down RBD last month at the very bottom the rear slid over. I also know there is a steep ledge at chocco that I plan to hit again, and I don't want to feel like I'm going to roll foward. Here's chocco last year, the rear shocks fully extended and I don't need that to happen in this situation:

I see it unloading badly in the picture. Doesn't pertain to the picture but do you front dual sway bars?

Played with the valving any? I've seen most dedicated crawlers run air shocks. I know some run the winch to force the tire down for traction.

No sway bars. Very stable side to side, and I can use the front winch to stiff it up and keep it from rolling for the most part, but I cant do anything about the rear unloading at those angles and with no weight. Well, I guess I could go ORI...

And no, I haven't messed with valving or oil, just use what they came with. I may look into those more after I get more seat time

Why not install the winch for now and play with valving? What brand do you have?

I edited my last post, but you quoted too fast lol.
That's the plan, add the winch and run it. Maybe mess with valving/oil at a later date. They're fox 2.0 14" front and rear
