Rich,
No way I could consider this a flame, in fact it sounds like sound advice.
The rollers just struck me as a good "extra" due to the fact that I did some
damage to my side guides and "fuzzed" the edge of a good winch cable(have to
use gloves from now on).
If I can find a set & afford it, it sounds like a good option "just in
case".
However, if I had put in the chain (that I bought for the truck), I could
have better used the snatch block (that I bought for the truck), and it
would have never occurred to me that I might want rollers.
If I do need a flame, Burn my butt, I tend to be an arrogant *** anyway and
need to be slapped down on occasion.

> Hi Rick
i think joe meant both its bad business to pull sideways so if you pull
straight out from the drum you do not need rollers. all winch equipped
M-series trucks were issued snatch blocks for doubling the the rating or for
using to make a straight pull using something in front of the stuck vehicle
i.e. a tree or rock or even another deuce as an anchor . if your going to
use
your winch seriously then get an operator's manual
for the truck the later issues have some real nice drawings on different
methods of pulling with your winch.
this is not a flame just some advice
