I had a 1600-lb conventional Marlin in my 85 truck and it worked great.  It was positive enough that I have a 1200-lb conventional in the 89 4Runner that I hope to get on Friday.  If your running 35 or smaller tires the 1200-lb should be great and larger tires I would probably go with the 1600-lb.  I will soon find out if I made a good choice.  I thought that the 1600-lb was a little too agressive on the rocks in Moab.  It made a few things more difficult than when I was running a stocker.  Don't get sucked into the bling factor of ceramic, the conventional clutches will perform extremelly well and are more forgiving I suspect.
