At least 8000 pounds, the more the better though

Winch should be rated for one and a half times your vehicle weight, at least. More is better, and there is no such thing as too much. (within reason.... you don't need a 60 ton crane to follow you around..... but, if you had one, you would never have to worry about being stuck.......)

There's not a selectable locker for the Chrysler 9.25 rear.

Another moderator and I talked at length to an Auburn rep at a 4x4 show this spring who said the Ected was in the works for the 9.25" AAM axle, that it was planned for last year but they moved support for the 10.5" AAM up ahead because GM is now using that axle in their 3/4 tons in addition to the 3/4 ton Rams. They said look for a release 4th quarter of this year or 1st Quarter next year.

The ARB guy also said plans were in the works but had no idea when it would hit the market...

The 9.25 AAM axle is for the front, won't work for the Chrysler 9.25 rear.
