Question:

I already have the draw-tite front hitch on my 2019 Silverado 3500 and I plan on purchasing the tiger shark SW1595200 but I dont know what wiring to use. I want to be able to use the winch with the front hitch but also be able to use it at the back of my truck too. What do I need to do this?

Glad to hear that you will be using the Draw-Tite # 65078 to mount the (discontinued) Superwinch Tiger Shark Off-Road Winch SW1595200 to the front of your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500.

To easily swap the Tiger Shark winch from the front of your Silverado to the back I recommend using the Bulldog Winch Front Wiring Kit # BDW20025 and the Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit # BDW20207. The front kit has 8' of wire while the rear kit has 24' of wire which should be more than enough for your application. This also ensures that you have the same quick connections. You can use the No-Drill Mount Bracket # 18136 to mount the rear connector without drilling into anything on your pickup.

If you don't already have a mount plate for the Tiger Shark then I recommend the Curt # C31010 and then adding the Handles # C31005 so that you can lift the mount plate and the winch at the same time when you need to move it.

Attached are some sample installation videos that you can reference for the installation.
