We bought a trailer with 4 broke cross members. Cut out the bad and welded in new 3/16 channel, installed a new 12k lb badlands winch and painted it gloss black with rustoleum tractor paint from tractor supply
Since it doesn't tilt you may want to build a rocking A crutch with a single block or even a double for the hard pulls you can sit on the deck to ease your pulling angle.
It will make your winch roughly twice as effective.
