Hello, I want to put a winch on a 1994 XJ. What should I get its stock with 1998 sPORT RIMS and super swamper ''s stock size.
You opened up a can of worms with that one. That type of system will work fine as long as you are winching in line with the vehicle. As soon as you start winching at an angle it will put a lot of stress on the receiver/hitch. I don’t know if it would actually break the receiver or bend the hitch, but I wouldn’t want to find out either. You do have a point about using the receiver for a hitch with a D shackle. I have a receiver built into my front bumper for that very purpose. It’s not necessary to have a high dollar top of the line winch to go 4 wheeling. I’ve done some pretty amazing things with a Hi-Lift jack and a come along. Of course I don’t look as cool as the guys with a Warn 12000 TI, but I still get home at the end of the day.dmillion said:Another option, that no one has mentioned, is getting a front hitch receiver and a winch mount that attaches to it. The receiver can then either be used as a front recovery point, or for mounting the winch.
