Expert Reply:
To install a winch on your GMC Sierra 1500 I recommend installing a front mount trailer hitch receiver and use a removeable winch mount. This will allow you to have the winch when needed, but also allow you to easily remove the winch when you do not need it. If you can tell me what Year your GMC Sierra 1500 is I would be happy to recommend a front mount trailer hitch receiver for you.
I recommend the Bulldog Winch Standard Series Off-Road Winch # BDW10042 which has a 9500lb maximum rating, the Bulldog Winch Hitch Mounted Winch Mounting Plate with Handles # BDW20011, and to be able to remove and reinstall the winch quickly you will need the Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set w/Dust Cover # BDW20133.
