It's an easy item to add and you will run into climbing situations where you'll want it if you haven't already seen the need.

Routing may be an issue for you with all the steering crap in the way.
I've salivated over this idea. I saw a guy who put an ATV winch over his rear axle and could squat his rig with the push of a button. HF ATV winches are practically free so that's always an option.

Yes... I actually was headed this way when I decided on ditching the coils as I wanted the option for both at the same time. Should be pretty easy to come up with a mount and pulley system.
