suspension winch for the rear?

so I got a 1500 lbs ATV winch from a friend a couple of years ago and forgot all about it till I was clearing mom and dads garage today of the last of my stuff. I would like to set it up for the rear since I still have the revolvers in the rear and I have no plans in the near future to extend the wheel base. So with that said I have two questions.

1. is it strong enough?
2. Am I right about putting it in the rear or should I put it in the front?

I truly believe the winch would be best used in the front. Most useful on hill climb when the front unloads. There were very few times that I wished I had a rear suspension winch.

it is strong enough but be ready to replace the cable when it breaks. might have to cut the cable short so it has less wraps on the drum and more power.

I was planing on changing the cable to start with. I will bring it with me tomorrow maybe we can do some brain storming on ways to set it up.

sounds good. can probably use a pulley to double it's pulling force.

you would need a couple pullys, my buddy got a 2500lb warn and with one pully that thing dies when its sucked all the way down, and my 3k bulldog has a good bit more power. just my .02

Thanks for the tip. I'm planning on running two pulleys in the setup. Bill and I did some work today on my jeep and did a little planning on how to set it up. I think I'm going to stick with the front but I might try to get one for the rear also.
