**** only a 70' main 80' tip and I figured it being 4 ton bigger I would get a better capacity on the jib but its virtually the same which sucks

ya just gotta get a little closer and you have to learn my butt hitch tech. Get a 3/4" by 8 to 10 foot lanyard with an eye. Girth hitch the eye end below the cut then a marl and a running bowline above the cut. Let it fly, be it 12" dia by 30 feet or whatev. Then hook up the choker and put it on the headache ball and pull it up like a big northern pike.

I have a front rig on mine. I'm getting used to picking over the nose more. I check wood charts on anything I'm unsure of. I also loaded my dingo and ply onto the back deck so I have a bit more counterweight now.
 
Gotta front rigger?
Yes sir
