My guess is MFT is becoming a bit of a problem for FCA. First, it requires RamBox to have adequate bed sidewall strength to handle the MFT weight. Otherwise, they add an awkward brace with is an additional cost to them. And they are having a problem with either the production or cost of the bed...

Interestingly, the Jeep off-road forums have similar discussions. There, the discussion is about how strong an axle assembly they need (like an HD pickup, they have live axles front and rear) and how much lift they need for a specific tire size. The only real issue is payload. And it is also a...

This was discussed in a 185-page thread on a Jeep forum. An FCA engineer indicated FCA doesn't make the info public (and he wanted to keep his job.) However, there is a EPA page...

If you subtract 1324 from 7100 it shows a weight of 5776. 5960-222-20+120 (the payload is calculated from curb weight, which includes a full tank) the result is 5838. Maybe it was 3/4 tank and not half? The 62# difference is about 10 gallons of gas.

Some soft shackles come with an anti-chafe cover. I wonder if that would make a difference.

There are also aluminum recovery hitches, some designed for soft shackles. it is also possible to just run a soft shackle directly on the pin without a hitch. As a sidebar, there are also aluminum wheels that use a soft shackle and replace a snatch block.

Again...from Australia. He covers lots of issues on hooking up, towing, using trees, and using winches. I thought it was interesting. For reference, Matt's Towing uses recovery ropes from these folks: https://yankum.com/kinetic-recovery-ropes/jeeps-suvs-pickups/

Ultimately, payload and rear axle capacity (a misnomer, it is really rear spring and tire capacity) are the limiting factors. In turn, that reflects not only payload but what the actual net tongue weight is after a WD hitch is adjusted.

What advantage would you expect in the 6" kit over the 4" kit?

Nitto is a Toyo subsidiary. I wonder if they would have the same performance.

I ran into this video which seems to indicate it has as much of an advantage off-road as it has on the racetrack.

Another airing down video...this one with some recommendations for a vehicle about the same weight as the Ram 1500. From western Australia.

How far did the 35x12.5 tires stick out with zero offset? Do you have a straight front/back picture off the side? Did you need anything beyond the initial lift (my guess is 2" would be enough) to clear the 35x12.50 tires? You don't have rock sliders, is breakover height an issue? In the BDS...

My error, thanks for the correction. That is heavy!

The ORG includes: Tow hooks Front suspension skid plate Transfer case skid plate (on 4x4 models only) Electronic power steering skid plate Fuel tank skid plate Rear electronic locking axle Front/rear off-road calibrated shocks Hill-descent Control Off-road decals (both sides, rear quarter...

All the tires being discussed are regular highway all-season tires. Any tire can drive down a gravel road...whether it gets a puncture would be a function load, speed, tire pressure, and sharpness/size of the gravel. If you run the sidewall of any of these against the side of a rock it will be...

Proper inflation depends on the circumstances. Towing 10k trailer down the interstate, tires may be close to max. Driving over sand, through a stream, over rocks, pressure can be a lot less and peak performance will be at the lower pressure. It isn't about temporary or full-time, it is about...

I believe this one has 40x15.50-20 tires

This is a sample video:
