As Ruffy has mentioned, I also was told by the owner at the time they rewound the motors as well. I have one fitted to my GU ( 10000lb ) works a treat.

I haven't stalled it yet but I've had the steel cable start to sing ( ready to break ) replaced with plasma. So there not lacking in pulling power.

Also adjustable panhard rods F & R, rear brake proportional bracket, maybe longer rear trailing arms to correct drive line pinion angles. Don't muck about with bushes or castor plates use either drop boxes or new radius arms drive better bet articulation and less stress on bushes.
