What you're needing is a receiver winch mount like part # BDW20011. The mount will work in a 2-inch receiver on the rear or front of a vehicle. If the mounting plate of the Bulldog # BDW66FR winch is removed, the 6-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern of the winch will perfectly match that of the # BDW20011 mount. The mount has holes that would be compatible with the 10 inch center to center bolt pattern for the winch fairlead. The mount has 10-1/2 inch center to center fairlead bolt hole spacing, but the holes are slotted, so it will work fine with the fairlead provided with the # BDW66FR winch.

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
