For lifting you need to a winch's rating and divide it by 4 for load limit. And those little winches should not be used for anything like this. I have a Portable 120V 3000 lb winch I use now and then. I needed to move something heavy in a hurry last weekend so I grabbed that little winch and a few snatch blocks. The cable was in great shape, but it pulled apart right at the hook at way less than 3000 lbs load and did some damage. No way I would use one of these little winches for lifting.
An easy way to lift bodies off of frames with a 2 post is to make 4 stanchions that fit in the lift arms and fit on or into features under the body. I have done this with an M37 body and it worked well.
