8500 pound winch? What are you moving?.......the Queen Mary? I've got a 4500 pound superwinch and it is way overkill, but I used to have a 4400 pound car!

Yeah, what are you winching....... a tank? I have a Superwinch 5000 for my 3400 lb. Stocker and I thought it was overkill. All I can tell you is you get what you pay for! Jim

Superwinch has the formula for what winch you need based on grade and weight of tow.

I used it when I got mine and ended up getting a 3000 winch for a Gen 3 camaro and no problems.
