This is the first purpose built off road overlanding vehicle I own or build. I'm really attempting to build light weight with less excess whistles and wants. I have already installed a 3.5" RE super ride lift. I'm going to put BFG A/T KO2's there a light tire I will use Steele rims though.

Instead of heavy bumpers for recovery I opted for some hitches good bad idea ? Also plan to bolt some armor panels/skids to the hitch frame not sure exactly yet.

Recovery points , I just ordered a rear hitch class 3. Will I be able to put a 8,000lb winch onto the receiver ? I also ordered the front hitch from Curt and says it has a max line pull of 9,000lbs. The rear looks built the same. https://www.hitchweb.com/product/88/13084/Class-3-Hitch-Jeep-Cherokee-Wagoneer

Thanks for your input guys.

It'll handle the winch just fine. Just keep in mind that hitches are rated for straight line forces, not at an angle. That said, it'll work in most recoveries, but if you're really stuck, you might want to rig up a snatch block.
