For sure, but a winch pull isn't always straight.I'm no expert, but lets be fair or think this through. Ford's mounts were not designed for the Torque created from lifting attachments on the front edge of a specialty bumper that protrudes an extra foot(?). When disigning a bumper, then putting lifting points on the outer front end, instead of where the OEM shackles meet the frame . . . I dont think its reasonable to place all the blame on Ford. This is an unforseen design flaw of a very nice bumper, IMHO. Perhaps.
I just know that Warn/Ford thought it was important to reinforce the frame horns and virtually no one does it.
I asked a vendor about it on this site and got this response-over confidence if you ask me.
