Universal Winch Cradle. If you always thought mounting a winch meant you needed a special bumper, think again. With the Smittybilt Winch Cradle, if you have a standard 2" receiver hitch, you can mount a winch. Constructed from thick, heavy-duty 3/16" and 1/4" cold rolled steel and dual stage powdercoated in a satin black finish for dynamite looks and long-term durability, the Winch Cradle will fit the majority of all winches on the market today and includes a mounting plate for the roller fairlead.
