My bars are cranked about an inch, thats all. That was 50K ago and ball joints are holding up great so I aint going any higher.
I havent put her on scales but Ive got alot of extra crap that stays in it daily. Winch/cradle and all the wiring that goes with it. Inverters, drills, saw, dual batteries, machetes, axe, ice chest,ropes and chains, etc, etc... spare hub trailer parts. Also My tool drawers (not counting the above items) weigh at least 300 lbs if not more Im sure.
I like to be prepared for everything.
