You're creating a unnecessary problem my friend.

K.I.S.S

(keep it simple silly)

 

Short answer is no

use a ratchet and do the tie down strap mod to the front of the bed maybe?

 

If the headache rack is only attached to the bedsides or bedrails , which is the most common way to mount it , you will winch the rack off the truck before you get a 1000lb elk in the bed .

I believe you can, you have to attach rings to the bed bolts, there are a few people on here who have done it, here is one

i think (depending on the weight), that you would have to put a line between the 2 and split up the weight, then ratchet it from the center

a boat winch (like off a trailer) may work better though

PS: if someone knows if this will bee too much weight, etc... please let us know

 

Just a thought but with a winch by your window if the cable comes loose guess what youll be replacing. Are our composite beds even strong enough to take that much weight being distributed by the headache racks mounting points

 

Get a mounting bar made up that bolts across the bed into the bed bolts .

Have a winch plate made up that can be attached to this mounting bar for your winch

 

does anybody have a headache rack with a winch on it used for this kinda thing?
