How big of a winch my truck weighs 10000lb. I have a military snatch block ill throw in my truck. I have good chains rated for 35000 lb working load thanks to the marind corps. But im worried about gettin my 350 stuck and having to daisy chain 4 rangers together to get it out. Either way ill be there at 9 since its 5 minutes from my house. Good choice on the meeting place by the way.

It is only 8k but with the snatch block doubling, it should be enough.
