Whew, a lot too learn, but great people helping me...

So, by spreading out the anchors of the pulling forces amongst the front receiver and both tow hooks, the winch can exert an increased amount of force and still not necessarily damage the hitch itself? With the two snatch blocks that Paragon described --- a dual pulley and a single pulley --- (or three pulleys) what would the multiplier be when using say a 9000# winch? Three times or four times? 27,000 pounds or 36,000 pounds?

What would the force on each pulley be?
