The hole is vertical because it was the easiest and cheapest way for them to make that receiver (somewhat) useful.
If you plan on using it, then yes, you might "need" the kit. I got my pin from partsguy because my *Cadillac* parts guy coudn't find one in his book, and insisted that it was just a regular pin. Sometimes it's better to just walk away from people like that. LOL
As for my plans for a receiver mount winch, I'm just going to get a second heavy duty extension bar, and drill a vertical hole in it.
