    I've had as much as 1025# on my Dobinsons. Love them. Not bad ride unloaded either.

    I'm about to have 650-700lbs constant on them and I'm at about 2.25" of lift over stock right now. Been very happy

    I'm currently 500-600. Last February I had the rear spring recall done. Didn't hold up to the weight. They lasted until July- August. I'm glad they were free, just my Saturday morning.

    My tie rods also don't squeak. They did that time at straight to ale because of mud in the front end but now it's cleaned out they dont.

    Gotcha, thanks. Honestly I don't know much about winches besides the warn name, but I can promise you I'm not paying $1000 for a winch. Bout to have a big black friday and a $1000 winch doesn't compute. Is the extra money worth it between the two for only 500lb capacity?

    I would say yes man, it's not the capacity, you also get a wireless winch remote which is very convenient. And it's waterproof, meaning ip68 idk what the 9.5k winch is but it' not sealed.

    My issue is with the switch on the winch that switches it from wired to wireless. Seems they are quite a few having the same problem, I called them and they are sending me a different new water proof switch. Seems the original switch is not water proof, imagine that a water proof winch and the switch on the control box is not. They are sending me a new water proof switch.

    Also air lockers are the truth. Get stuck let off gas to take tension off drivetrain tap button and go. No reason to give hell trying to do anything unlocked when it's so quick and easy to activate and deactivate.
