Default Best Winch Mount System

I was considering getting a winch for my Tundra, the WARN Multi-mount caught my eye, I like having the option of using my winch on both ends of the vehical and also being able to run it on the other vehicals in my family. My question is how large of a winch can I run on a front receiver?

What other options do I have for mounting besides the Multi and Trans4mer? Especially if I wanted to run a 8000 or 9000 lb winch on my vehical.

Class III receiver hitches are only rated at 5000#s, while convenient, not really built for winching a stuck truck

If you go with a bumper mounted winch, you will then have issues with the front suspension as it will prematurely sag the coils- its just too much weight
