It all depends on the winch model/brand, and what will fit I suppose.
Many owners will buy an extra, have it with their winch kit, and add it if needed.

Or use a snatch block.
FYI the below diagram is not totally accurate.
Yes, a snatch block does double the pulling power, BUT, every snatch block added to your pulling system reduces your pulling power by 10% do to the friction of going around the sheave. Add 2 snatch blocks, 3 times the pulling power, but, 10% + 10%, is also a 20% reduction in pulling power.
