Winches

Can you install a winch on the factory bumper or will the bumper need to be replaced?

You need a better bumper. Anything good enough to be called a winch will U shape almost any stock bumpers.

If the front is a good hitch. Those would work for a winch just pickup a slide in class 3 mount. Then you set other than running heavy power cable to both ends of the truck.

so can you get a receiver mount that mounts to the rear hitch then attack the hitch itself to that? Im a little confused on this.

Some of those bigger winches are pretty heavy, and your not going to be able to move them around that easy. So before you buy one you might want to look at the weight. I have a 12,000 gorrila winch and It's almost 100 lbs.

There's a front reciever you can buy that mounts to the front of your pick up, then there is a mounting plate you can buy that the winch will bolt to, and that mounting plate allowes you to move the winch to the front or to the back of your pick up.

yes, if your not interested in installing a new bumper you can do the receiver method.

Their are a few aftermarket sources out there that sell receiver winch mount plates (basically a 2" receiver tube with a flat plate to mount your winch to).

http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-s...ti_mount.shtml

Of course this means that you would have to install a receiver hitch on the front or youll be limited to rear pull only!

Like mentioned, a winch big enough to be useful on these pigs is f'n HEAVY!!! mind you a small winch will get you out of a pinch, but youll likely be snatchblocking it every time
