With enough free beer I'm sure you could talk Jim and I into sitting on your front bumper while your pulling. Should be good for 550 pounds or so. Should be very easy to mount and dismount as well :-laf . I really need to get a clutch or transmission swap done so I can come play with you guys.

Do they allow hanging weights out front? If not, I have a weight box for under the bumper that holds up to 1,200lbs of lead bricks. Helps stiffen up the frame too. It came off my 98, so it will bolt right in, or I could take some pics of it if you want to fabricate your own.

1,200 lbs in lead bricks huh..... how big of a pain is it to install and or add weight? start taking pics and pm them to me i need some help on this one.



Chilly you nad jim might be 550 but not jim alone, you just need a clutch and a input thats all.

Two angles that bolt to the Warn brackets. The weights hang on two pieces of flat stock that are 1/2" thick each.



The weights are 100 lbs. each.



I threw it together about 2 hours before the pull...

If you have tow hook brackets or not (the place where they go) you can weld a piece of 2. 5"x2. 5" reciever tube that you can pick up from your local Tractor Supply... . then just find some angle iron and some 2"x2" to make a bracket!

I started with this, but have since then moved it to the Drivers side frame rail for piece of mind

The bracket that holds the wieghts is 150 pounds and each suit case wieght is a 100 pounds I believe it holds 10 each.
