24,500lb kinetic overkill for 100 series? (1 Viewer)

Theres a 24.5k lb 20' Voodoo rope for sale near me new for $50. I figured at about 4x gvw it might be a little much, but better to be heavier rated than too light. And once I start building my 100 more I might need it?

I would say that’s perfect and not overkill by that much. Gotta do your F=m*a

Thought i read somewhere it should be rated at 3x vehicle weight

Not familiar with Voodoo rope myself, but for that price, get it! Btw, I carry a 30' Bubba that has a rated breaking strength of 28.6k lb.

Not sure about Voodoo but this is what the Bubba Website states... "To understand what weight class your rope is rated for divide the breaking strength of the rope by 3.5 or 4 times. That number will tell you the maximum weight of the vehicle the rope is rated for."

Cool so this should be about perfect, at least wouldn't want any lighter. Voodoo's website says this rope is

• Ideal for Jeep and 1/2 ton trucks

So this (stock) pig is already on the high end lol. But gonna get it for that price for sure

Thanks all!

Here it is! If I had to guess it doesnt look brand brand new, but it might be. At any rate it's in very good shape so for the price I'm happy
