1. Determine the gross weight of your vehicle, usually located on the original vehicle
dealer invoice or in the owner’s manual. If not available in the manual the gross
weight is often found on the door jam or on a sticker under the hood.
2. Multiply the gross weight of your vehicle x 1.5 to identify the correct winch for your
vehicle.
3. Refer to the
DK2 guide for the maximum non-rolling weight that can be pulled by
your vehicle/winch combination.

What is my primary application? Tree saver
straps are required if hooking a winch to a tree
(using a cable will kill a tree and kink the winch
cable.)
Is the line pull rating 12% to 15% greater than
my gross vehicle weight?
Do I need additional accessories? (clevis pins,
snatch blocks, chain, etc.)
Does my vehicle have the proper mounting kit to
accomodate the winch I’m purchasing? (check
with vehicle manufacturer or dealer for details)
Be certain to maintain a clear
distance from the winch cable, use
work gloves, and NEVER stand
between the vehicle and the
object the cable is attached to
during operation. Also NEVER
exceed the load capacity of
the winch.
