Default Engine Load Leveler

Are you guy's using them? Which brand. I was thinking about picking one up and I don't want something cheap to break while an engine is hanging over my truck.



thanks.

I've never needed on. In theory it seems like it would help a lot bout I really don't see it being so much of a help that would be worth buying and using it.
Just position your chain properly and everything should go pretty well.

I like the idea of being able to install a engine and trans at once if I choose to. I have never used one before.


Would you suggest me to get the HF one or a nicer one Corey?

With my Dad's help I was able to get my engine/trans/transfer case in with just a chain.
