What is Winch Capacity of Westin HDX Grille Guard 57-93785

Question:

The specs say 12,500 lbs winch capacity however, I dont see how a Warn M12000 will properly bolt into the winch mount. It requires four bolts holes on the front of the mount and this mount only shows two.

While the Westin HDX Winch Mount Grille Guard with Punch Plate - Black Powder Coated Steel # 57-93785 does have a 12,500 lb weight capacity not every winch with a higher capacity will be compatible due to how the mount is set up. I checked out the winch you mentioned and it does require 4 bolts on the front of the winch to attach so this wouldn't work with this grille guard but it wouldn't be because of capacity.
