My credo
A legend to the old man, a hero to the child...
Step one, get the truck stuck in a ditch. Step two wrap a chain around the center of the drivers side beam (not by the coil spring like would make sense). Step 3 attach other end of the chain to a Dodge Ram and pull out of said ditch... I was wondering that too and asked to confirm when I picked it up with a trailer...

That pulled the center forward about 2", far enough that shortening the toe adjuster on that side wasn't enough to get it to be straight :)
I beg the question....why not just wrap it around the frame horn?

When I got it stuck in a ditch a couple years ago (Ice storm, narrow blocked road with ditches on both sides, backed up 2" too far and dropped both rear tires in one ditch), there really wasn't a good way to get around the frame, the silly chrome bumper and stuff hangs down lower than the frame...
