Theoretical only, would never try this.
Jeep is stuck, run the winch line out 60 Ft to another winch that has 60 ft of winch line out and hook them together.
both winches are 8000 Lb pull and are the same brand, your choice.

You both start winching:
Are you doubling the load on each winch
or are you halving the load on each winch
or no effect on the loads upon the winches

Inquiring minds want to know.
 
Great question! I vote for same load...no wait. I vote for 50/50...no wait. Damn! Great question!!!

Asked an engineer buddy on our dock. His opinion was 50/50 shared load.
