I'd be willing to bet neither Warn or Smittybuilt make their own ****** block.
I'd be careful doubling up that 12k winch with a 17.5k ****** block unless you live in Floriduh where straps/chains/cables don't pop sending one of two ends into the face of ignorant bystanders.

Well I agree with you there. My plan is to use it where I just need to change direction or to get more line off the spool. I found myself in a situation the other week where I was pulling at nearly right angles with only about 25 feet off the spool
