why not just lower your truck to lower the cg instead of using a winch? do you have weights in your tires? when i was watching your vid, even with your winch you still had to pin the throttle to get up not knockin' your design but my .02 you just need some weight in your tires and lower the trucks CG |

The wheels and front axle are weighted. The suspension winch allows me to have belly clearance for obstacles but suck down for sidehills or climbs. I still had to pin the throttle, but I wasn't making it up the obstacles without the suspension compressed. I tried both of those obstacles at ride height about 10 times each and never made it up. I made it up 3 out of 5 times with the suspension compressed. My intent with the video was to show how it worked and that it makes a little difference. If you watch me make it over the last obstacle, you'll notice that I was high centered and not going anywhere until I lowered the suspension again, then it took off. Just playing around I found a few situations where it comes in handy but I can't give out all my secrets ;) Last edited by Locked Up; 05-11-2008 at 06:33 AM. | |
