[QUOTE="EBOD, post: 395621, member: 25494"] I asked Warn's customer service folks a similar question. They said that the winch exerts pressure linearly (i.e., in the same direction that the frame rails run), not verticlly. In fact, they said that the hitch is not even rated for the weight of the winch. If I understood it right, this is because the static (or nearly static) loads found when the winch is put on the receiver to do a job is not the same as the loads found when the winch is bouncing along at highway speeds (which, I guess you're not supposed to do). My bike carrier sticks out pretty far from the hitch (more leverage on the hitch), so this is an even bigger problem for my anticipated application. [/QUOTE]
