Molly has one on her truck.

No, really - in the back. It's used to suck down the suspension - kinda like an on demand limiting strap.

That idea has actually been in use for a few years now.
Currie first used it on their original comp. Jeep some years ago.
They had a hydraulic setup to suck up the front axle on steep climbs as lifted Jeeps ('96 forward with coils) tend to want to unload the front axle.
We've used ATV winches in the front of Jeeps for 6 years or so just for that.
To stop the front axle from unloading on steep climbs.
