They do too, for a 1500 1/2 ton trucks. They state very clearly: NOT DESIGNED FOR 2500/3500 APPLICATIONS. Generally speaking supercharged engines make terrible tow trucks as the boost is a constant when RPM is a constant and was never intended for towing up long hills or mountains. At $8000 for the kit plus install costs it is a risk.
