Before that I had it chained to two d-rings that are bolted to the floor, near the tail gate.
Hi-Lifts are great for a lot of things, but winching, even with a 60" one would be cumbersome. Get a quality come-along for that. Look for one with two ratcheting wheels and a cast body. The truth is, a come-along or even a winch can mess you up just as fast a Hi-Lift.
I've used them around the house and on the trail, if you respect them they are a great asset. One of the most useful things they can do is move a truck sideways- jack it up and push it over.
