Yeah all good. It may work fine but it may also put a bit of strain on things. Can only find out by testing it.

Cheers for the comments guys, may have just found the steel to use as my bars etc. Was used in a cowshed, but looks in pretty good nic and pretty thick too :)

Balance the weight with what you want to achieve. May end up pulling the nose down more than you want.

How heavy is the box that runs back into the chassis? An how far in does it run?
Just wondering cos I would have thought having the winch that high will create a lot of leverage on the end of the chassis rails as well.
Looks pretty cool all the same :wink:

steel into the chassis rails is 50x50 box section, 5 mm thick. it slides 270mm into the rails and i packed the chassis rails with steel plate to stop the small amount of movement that was there.
