Note to tilt users: In reading up on mounting winches on tilt trailers I came across an interesting work around for the weight that needs to be offset when it's mounted on the deck.
Found it on Ford460
"My buddy has a similar setup, and I'll try to explain the best I can. The winch is mounted to the front A frame just behind the jack. The cable feeds under the immoveable front portion of the deck. From there it goes to a pulley mounted underneath the tilt section, very near to the pivot point. At that pulley the cable turns around towards the front of the trailer. There is another pulley on the front of the tilting section. The cable now goes around that pulley and up onto the deck, where you would use it to drag stuff. The pulley's have tabs that keep the cable from coming off, and it runs in a channel from the winch to the first pulley. It sounds more complicated than it is, and it works great. Hope that helped."
