I have a 2010 Silverado 1500. I'm looking to add a winch to the front. The grill on the front has 2 mounts taht attach to the frame with 2 bolts on each side (see pics). The rail seems to be made of 1/4 inch steel that I dont think is strong enough.
I called someone to fabricate a plate for the front and he wants to attach a plate to the 2 mounts with 6 bolts (3 on each post). Im concerned that these posts will not be strong enough and will bend under stress. What do you think?
