The front frame horns on Durangos & Dakotas are designed more as a part of the front crumple zone than as a structural frame component. Rumor has it that there have been a significant enough number of people laying claims against DC that they discontinued their front tow hook kit because of it.

Now, this isn't saying that with some bracing that a plow could not be reliably used, I am just throwing it out there as an FYI. Speaking for myself, I have a 9,000lb Warn winch mounted on the front end, but there are some reinforcements made by the Warn grill guard I am running.
