Those ones that they're selling this weekend for $39 a pair, no good for a Mopar. I have four of those. Once you get some weight on them they deflect enough that the casters don't work good. The ones that have the foot pedal to jack them up are pretty decent. I have a set of four of those and no complaints. Even under some pretty heavy vehicles.

Don’t forget to get your free LED flashlight. Hazard Fraught has replaced those with these. Maybe in your neck of the woods. We still have the good stuff here in pa.

I put 4 under my sons 67 Dart 270. Could NOT roll the front end at all. The rear was movable but not smoothly.
I took 5 of the $12 wood movers dollies, took 1 apart and put two more of the swivel wheels under 4 of them to make four each into 6 swivel wheel ones, and this works well.
The steel ones I use for my engine blocks. I just welded some steel strap on so the blocks sit square. They roll around real well.

I bought a set of the heavy duty ones. No problem moving my Ramcharger around on them. It has front and rear Dana 70 axles and 36 inch swampers.
Those are not what's on sale though.

good for rolling around an engine block. B body, not so good. I put them under the Dart as it just sits with low miles. So close to one wall. I pushed it over so I could work on it No Go. I did better with a floor jack. I may try the larger ones but those were junk. Would not move! You would have thought my mother in law was in tha car
