I wouldn't be using a light weight winch like that on my Kombi thanks.
If you go it alone which you do quite often by the sound of it i would be looking for a genuine Turfa hand winch
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

They are fine, just know its limitations and carry a snatch block or two.
