Great question. Diesel is always the answer due to the weight. Anything that is already engineered into the truck with an 600lbs on the front end is the way to go! Versus a gas motor that’s super light…it’s a no brainer for us. Some hate diesel and choose gas. Just understand this… Every counterweight we’ve put on a gas motor truck. The customer ended up taking off because it was killing his brakes. Shocks struts, and tires too soon. So we stopped 🛑✋🚫 adding counterweights to trucks, If the customer wants a counterweight we suggest getting a bigger truck or longer truck. Trucks with long wheelbases & gas motors perform way better than the shorter wheelbase trucks with a gasser.
Ok, so I’ve got a 2003 Regwncy 1500HD, it came with 5 leafs, and they don’t make that 1500hd any longer. It’s a crewcab 4x4 with an 8 inch lift. If I ever win the lottery and could buy a new GMC and have it tricked out, I would use it to haul my Black Series travel trailer, a 2020 because they sold it to a chineses company and the quality went down. Hey I have a great idea. Why don’t I drive my truck to you and you can use it as a “Testimonial of what you can do to any truck, no matter the year??? We could put stickers on it to show who rebuilt it. Now the engine has 100k miles and the same engine specs as a 2500, but I’d like to put a beasts motor in it. What do you think??? I already know the answer, but you can’t blame me for trying. You guys do awesome work.. I’ve truly never seen anything so B@d@$$ in my life. Truly amazing!!!@@detroitwrecker
The Lil Hercules is the strongest light-duty wheel lift on the planet! The only equipment in the world that can tighten its crucial pivot points. Pricing is currently $25,000.00 not installed, plus shipping. For installation, add another $9k for a total of $34k out the door! Which includes the frame reinforcement and rear suspension plus everything else needed to “Tow” home. It takes 2-3 weeks typically to complete an installation. All installations come with: • Wireless Towlights & Corded Towlights • Ratchets, Straps • Safety Chains • Spare O rings • Spare fuses • Spare can of undercoating • Spare L-Arm Springs • Steering Wheel Strap • Toolbox for double motor electric/hydraulic pump. ruclips.net/video/PKhJzoIPpeQ/видео.htmlsi=lcyImoiGBWIsVdMK Our unit has a 5,000lb lift capacity and a 10,000lb total capacity. The combination of our pivot pins that tighten and how everything is overbuilt, our units save you $$$ in the long run. Our frame reinforcement is an engineering process that proves to be the only company that puts the R&D into this application of converting a pick-up truck into a tow truck. Our in-house engineer stress tests the unit on the truck's frame and has our CNC plasma cutter cuts out the pieces which are easily welded by our welders.

Our in-house engineer stress tests the truck frame in 3D CAD. ruclips.net/video/wZuyW-mTWMk/видео.htmlsi=XboXzW-ikjgx5ig4 Our rear suspension makes the truck rides like a Cadillac. Everyone knows that a truck rides a million times better with weight in the back of the bed...All customers say the truck rides better than when they brought it in because of the weight of the unit (1200 lbs) in the back. The fox shocks and our custom helper springs don’t engage until a load is put on them..., which translates to a super soft ride, loaded or empty. ruclips.net/video/u-JzOq1HqvE/видео.htmlsi=coJC7sZRjfKfiGT1 Our class five extendable hitch also enables you to bumper tow. You don’t lose bumper towing, and you don’t lose the ability for a fifth wheel or Gooseneck either, making the truck so versatile. It’s a no-brainer.

Never tow something as big or bigger than your truck if you want to stop and steer safely. Towing a truck as big or bigger is going to exceed the capabilities of the brakes (you do not have trailer brakes in this application). When testing our units we often pick up a load the same size or bigger.

Typically takes 2 to 3 weeks to complete an installation, which includes the frame reinforcement and rear suspension as well.
