basically you dont want to pull from 2 opposite sides of the truck . like
hooking up to the front right side of the frame rail and the rear left side
of the frame. You also want to stay away from sideways pulls ( UNLESS ITS THE
ONLY WAY OUT) ive seen and done a LOT of damage to vehicles by doing sideways
pulls. Weve bent the trailer hitch on a dodge about 6 inches to the left side
also on a chevy and ford. straight pulls are the best or slight angle but no
sideways stuff. Also dont pull with too much force. if it moves a little it
can probably be pulled. if it doesnt stop and use a winch
