dimensions look good, and the capacity is 1075lbs each. my total weight will be between 900-1200 so that should offer a very nice cushion with 4 of them.

...Also, it's not the static load capacity that worries me, it's the dynamic. A 900lb load suddenly bounced 8" up in the air from a vertical wall of a hole, then slamming back down at 9.8 m/s^2 "weighs" much more than 900lbs. w/o actually doing the math, Im-a-gonna-guess it's 2-3x the weight at least.

OR when you dukes of hazard the whole rig that time you accidentally find yourself and your whole family in the middle of a live pro-rally course (drive fast or else!).

Such a great point! I remember a video of people trying to swing from a bridge and the cable was calculated for their static weight, not the weight of them while swinging at 30mph. Didn't end well...
