Well let's hope so.....
I will be watching for ideals

Front, back, or both?

Have had front since the jeep ran. This will be for the rear to assist with steep descents
-
I've had one in the shelf in the garage for years, still new in the box. Is there any other use for them? Pull a roller onto the car trailer?

That would work. Could even use a snatch block and double the pulling power. "Roller" is the key word though, something old like a project with siezed hubs could give you issues

Or a snapped knuckle on a storm fighter 60 like Larry did 2x i think. That was fun to load

I have a coupon for $59 if someone wants it.

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

What rear suspension are you running?

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
