First of all, depends on what all you have extra on your truck. Big tires, lift, axles, etc. From what I hear, you should get one that's almost twice the weight of your truck or something like that. You have to look at the possibility of getting totally burried and the weight of the truck being pulled by the winch. My friend and I burned out his Ramsey 9000 when he got stuck up over his wheels. Guess it all depends on what you are planning on doing with your truck. Good luck.

I think you will be able to get away with that setup. If I were you I would also be investing in a snatch block too. This is a device that has a pulley that you can attach to a fixed object. It doubles the force apllied by winch. you see them on large cranes with three or four pullies on them. Warn selles them. Also get a roller fairlead.
