9,000 lbs warn winch, enough?

Well, I am thinking about buying a brand new warn 9,000 lbs winch for 200 bucks. I've always heard that when buying a which, double your vehicle weight to get the winch size you need. If I use a ****** block, then it will double my pulling strength, thus giving me 18,000 lbs of pulling strength.

Will the winch work for me?

Thinking about getting one myself. I like the XD9000i. These are much more affordable than the new school stuff. I think we should get them before they become obsolete.
