Were you using a snatch block?? The snatch block will take an enormous amount of strain off of your winch and allows you to move greater amounts of weight. I have found the cast shear pins to be too weak in relation to the capacity of the winch. So I now use a grade 5, 1/4" bolt. I have sheared the grade 5 bolt as well, and with no damage to the winch. gotta have a snatch block to pull the Fords out 2 at a time, haha
