ideally yes, but your putting the stress of a winch all on the class III pin holding the winch mount

yea i'm not saying it would work but i work at a mach./weld shop and could weld something beefy and see how that worked. being basically my first jeep i'll take offroading slow to start but i dont want the hitch digging in then saying to myself that was a waste of money.
