Should I run the bracket all the way back as far as I can go or should I cup the frame ? Anyone ever have any frame problems with a winch?

My bumpers have mounts that go all the way back to the 3/4 inch hole that is sleeved. Look right behind your sway bar on the frame. This provides a good anchor for winching.

great thanks
 
I have a

i have a Custom 4x4 front bumper and it really got a workout last July at Tellico. I was tied off in the back to Woody and the winch was tied to a full Dodge truck with a large car trailer. the winch pulled them both back on the trail sideways. The bumper is still pristiene but the XJ MUST be 12" longer:D
 
No wonder my junk is longer.

I forgot about that hookup :) Just call me Ballast.

Folks with welders & winches are handy to have around if you do this stuff more than once or twice.
