I took a couple of measurements to see what I was up against........

pintle height on 1008 is 27.5"
Approx height at hookup point on bottom of winch bumper of mud truck is 34"
6.5" is alot of slope in 3-4', what distance is generally between vehicles when hooked together?

I could also try to make something double purpose for towing 1008 behind the M.T.

front of 1008 is approx 26" at hook-up points
I think rear of M.T. is super adjustable with drop hitches and stuff(I will have to buy pintle hookup that plugs into reciever here) Does anyone know how much drop I can achieve with a pintle type drop hitch? I dont remember really seeing any more extreme than 2" up or down from strait style. I am beginning to wonder if just using a couple different drop stingers with pintle, run upside down or right side up would make this easier, and maybe I wouldn't have to make a "special" sloped tow bar. Then I just wont use the pintle hooked on the 1008 bumper for anything.......Input? Thanks again
BTW, 6.5" is a minimum drop from truck to truck, thier parked on odd little hills right now, I think it's probably closer to 8".
