Why would that be a problem and not the solution...?
Remember KISS...!: short piece (14-16 links) of 1/2" chain (like what's used on the winch); form a ring by joining both ends into a larger eye-piece; then slip ring over lunette eye and feed large link through eye. A 3/4" or 7/8" shackle will...
I don't think that the frame or bumper would be the weak link here but I've found a tendency for the stamped frame extensions to bend downwards, as well as cracks to the lower rear portion of the (stamped) winch brackets. See pics.
3000 lbs @ 10' is definitely a lot of leverage! :shock:
