I always assumed that you should try and pull in-line with your frame as much as possible. I just mounted up my winch this weekedn in line with the frame as well as some stout ass D rings inline with the frame on the rear.

One of my buddies is telling me that this is the worst way to pull and that I should have put them below the frame o something that will bend before the frame will...


So, whos wrong here? (Keep in mind I tend to be the one pulling all my buddies out and I aint afraid to ouse go juice to do it:D)

Muchos Gracias!

I personally mounted my tow points inline with the framerails, this just seems to make the most sense to me. I have one hook on each rail and run a strap between the two so the pulling load is exerted on both sides at the same time, seems to me this will minimize the frame getting diagonal on me.

That is exactly like I did it. I mounted the winch inline with the frame on the front and in the rear I slapped 2 big arse d rings on either side of the cap/ crossmember on the end of my frame. I put them to either side and I plan to leave a 10 foot strap hanging from between them so that any pulling will be eavenly spread between frame rails...

Makes sense to me too:D
