Thumbs up Ramp Winch

Ok so here is what I did.

Ran cable from truck battery to 12 volt contactor. It operates on 12 volts and is good for 400amp cont use. Then from there to 2-6 volt batteries. I ran the ground back under the truck to the frame mounted bed. I ran a lighted switch to the dash to turn the charge on/off. Just need a 12 volt gauge to keep a eye on it when charging.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Ramp Winch

Looks good. I would consider putting a cover over the terminals on the contactor....just for insurance.

Yea and one over the tops of the batteries also I think probably. To keep the water off the terminals.

Re: Ramp Winch

Or you know keep something from shorting to the frame. I can see from the quality of workmanship you are the kind of guy that thinks through the job before you start. Cheers.

Yes agree, shorting out wouldn't be good!
