Can you mount a winch to a grille guard (Suburban GMT900)?

Hey guys, I'm eying a grille guard for my Chevy Suburban, but they don't say if I can install a winch on any of them. Looking at one of these in black: https://www.carid.com/chevy-suburban-grill-guards/

My understanding is that the grille guard attaches to the frame where the tow hooks are but the middle bar of the grille guard must be strong enough to hold a winch (looks to be strong). Does anyone know if it's a good idea to install a winch on a grille guard, or do I need to buy one of those steel off-road bumpers with the brush guard?
