The hydro winches run off of you power steering pump.
Just about everybody make a lift for your truck. You could also go to the local spring shop and have the old springs re-arched with an extra leaf and 4-6" of lift.
I had mine done like that for about $450. You might also need longer brakes lines and a pitman arm or drag link depending on the steering you have.

That's a bad *** rig. I want a 460 but right now I'm only getting 12 MPG out of my 302!
Anyway IMHO i don't think hydraulic winches are the hot setup. Picture being stuck and busted. Or more likely being stalled with water up to your waist. Since you need to have your truck running to winch out you're SOL. I spose that's the drawback of them costing half as much

go with the skyjacker 6 inch lift, you gotta get drop braklines, drop pitman arm and draglink. you will have plenty of clearance for 38's. Check out my gallery, along with tellico racing's and jalampi's for some ideas of how shell look. Hope you enjoy tour truck
