Your frame will buckle instead.  And that's not good.
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

I was out helping a neighbor remove a tree stump and pretty much removed a rear bumper and rear crossmember as I was winching. The old guy worked with my grandfather. My front end is still fine. That winch will flat out pull. The people I go out with have me do the winching, they all have electric winches and they know that my thing could rip their Jeep into pieces and they know that I know how to use it. Actually if I am out pulling trees I use my motorhome. A 12.000 lb 4X4 beast with 5:714 gears and a 2:0 to 1 transfer case. I have been called a few times to rescue people with either my Jeep or the motorhome.
