Two years ago, I purchased a Warn winch package that included wiring to install a connection front and back, the winch itself and a cradle that holds the winch and is designed to slide into the front and back receivers.
I just recently job far enough down in my job pile to install it. First step was to test the cradle in the receivers. The back one was perfect. The front one's hitch channel was not long enough to line up with the pin hole in the front receiver. Does anyone know why this would be different?
Since it is what it is, the fix will probably be to cut the factory weld on the hitch channel and move it so it lines up with the pin hole. Its off by about 5/8". But that is a little less of the hitch channel welded to the cradle.
The other option is to replace the too short hitch channel with a new one that is plenty long. I could probably drill a new hole but it is so close to the end of the hitch channel, it could tear it if used at the 4000lb limit.
Anyone had experience with this? Any other suggestions?
Thanks as always.
