I wouldn't depend on a harbor freight winch mount. Being an experienced structural welder/fabricator, I have on no doubt I can put a winch on a self fabricated receiver mount and it be completely safe for pulls in any direction, at whatever weight is needed. Not everyone can do that. It is possible though. If extreme 4-bying is what you do, then seek out those who can build what you need, and have confidence that when you need it most, it will do what you want it to do. That kinda thing don't come from a discount store.
