I've never seen a situation where a bigger winch would help. Just my experience. It's either any winch will do, or no winch will do......
Also, if you really need a 12k winch. you have bigger problems and will be breaking parts all the time and have overall shit performance out of your truck.
9.5 or really 9k winch is all that should ever be needed on a 5th gen. If you need more.. you are over the safe payload of the platform. A 8klb 5th gen is scary... That is what a 12k winch is sized for....
