I got a wench.....

[BlueLighting1999]

I have a Torsion bar and i was woundering when i get the Wetch installed i will need to maby add a linch or two to the front because the extra weight from the wench will make her sag. Can you guys please help me wiht some ideas?? Is there anyway to maby add Leaf springs to the front? (By the way its a 6,000 Pound wench)

The other thing is im thinking about adding in a add a leaf or two to add a inch or two to the back. How hard are they to install at home???

You mean winch right? A 6000lbs wench is an awful big woman.....

Does the weight really matter so long as she lets us build and wheel.... and she brings us beer????

* no offense, but spelling has been corrected.

#1, no, there's no way to add leafs to the front in conjunction to the torsion bars.
#2, Don't think I would add to the rear as it's gonna really stiffen the ride quality. If anything, maybe a set of warrior shackles would work better and allow more suspension flex.

haha Sorry about my spelling!

it shouldn't sag that bad or if it does go to advanced auto parts they sell a load helper thing that goes onto your spring... here ya go http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/we...28"-Lakewood_17360498-P_N3435L_P|GRP60035____
but shouldn't you have coil spring front?? then put in coil spacers a winch that small ain't gonna make much difference anyways

 

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

Are you adding a large bumper along with it?

Looking at your signature, you already have your t bars cranked up. The winch alone does not weigh a whole lot.

The winch alone does not weigh a whole lot.

just what I was gonna say, you do know the 6000 pound is a rating for how much it can pull right? it doesn't actually weigh 6,000 pounds..

No, on 98+ 4x4's they have torsion bars.

Yes and because i have T-Bars and i already cranked them i dont now how i can get anymore of a "Cheap" lift out of it....
The wench is about 72 pounds i think and so it could sag if it dose what is something i could do so this dosent happen??

 

[F150hybred]

72 lbs shouldn't make too terrible of a difference.

 

[that_one_guy]

go have a 10 year old sit on you hood. it wont make much of a noticeable difference. Just run it.

 

[BlueLighting1999]

Okay dude thanks
But what if it dose?

 

[F150hybred]

Then loose some weight from another area on the front.
