When I had my 06 Chevy Duramax I bought a front mount hitch bracked at the 2010 rally. That gave me two spots to hang a warn 8k unit and keep it ocked in the bed when not needed. In most cases when I needed a winch I needed it to pull my ass back out the way came so I would just hang it on the back hitch. The odd times that I either backed into trouble or had to drag some other poor soul out of a muddy or wet hell I hung it to the front, Perm mount in the front but requires a very large fairlead to get the cable out the backI just found the lighter winch and the two mounts made more scents..
