i was wondering if there was anyone that has a front hitch with a winch plate on it. im thinking bout buying one but im kinda skeptical on the strength. im afraid if i do get it that if im winchin my xj outta ditch or somethin if the pin would snap and pull the winch plate right out of the hitch.

 

It don't break when you pull something with the rear hitch so ,why would it break pulling with a front hitch?You will be allright.Get a winch bumper if your uncomfortable with a hitch.By the time you buy a hitch and winch plate and all you could get a bumper for about the same price.The bumper will look so much cooler too.I bought my bumper for $300 from Logans metal products.

 

yea ur rite is about 250 for the hitch n winch plate and that is a nice bumper was that 300 shipped or pluss shipping

 

They charge $65 for shipping but they are in PA also. I went and picked it up.They are east of Pittburg.

 

Quadratec has Rock Hard 4x4 Parts Front Bumper Winch Plate for $199....
Check out their site...

 

yea thats a lil far for me to drive im about 6 hours from pitt i think id rather pay the 65 shipping

 

if i do get the winch bumper. do they weigh enough to the point where i will need a leveling kit.
