Rock Recovery Suspension Winch | 3,000 lb. Capacity

Rock Recovery Suspension Winch

The Trail-Gear Rock Recovery Suspension Winch 3000 is the ultimate solution for stabilizing link or leaf-sprung suspensions during extreme vertical climbs and descents. By preventing suspension "unload," this winch keeps your center of gravity low and your vehicle stable when it matters most. Trusted by competition buggies and hardcore trail rigs, this compact unit offers precise control over suspension droop in a reliable, easy-to-install package.

Performance Features

• Active Stability Control: Specifically designed to compress and hold your suspension, preventing the unpredictable "loading and unloading" that occurs on steep obstacles.
• Versatile Mounting: Its compact footprint and flexible controller—which can be tube-mounted, shifter-mounted, or panel-mounted—ensure it fits in the tightest chassis configurations.
• Optimized Reach: Comes standard with a 57-inch power cord, providing ample length for front or rear mounting without the need for custom wiring extensions.
• Customizable Line Setup: Shipped without line to allow for your preference of steel cable or synthetic rope. For peak performance, the drum is optimized for 25' to 40' of 5/16" line.
• High-Torque Utility: While optimized for suspension tasks, the 3,000 lb. rating provides significant pulling power for auxiliary utility needs.
• Suspension Stabilization: This winch is engineered for chassis compression and stabilization. It is not intended for overhead lifting or industrial hoisting.
• Load Holding: Equipped with an automatic load-holding brake, this unit is designed to maintain tension on suspension components during technical maneuvers.
• Duty Cycle: Avoid continuous high-load pulling for extended periods to prevent motor overheating; use it specifically for positioning and stabilizing.
