I'd only use warn for there reliability and strength. Get a 9500i. It would be perfect for your setup
Question concerning winches
At least an 8k winch (not so much for the pulling power, but for the strenhth of the winch, so it doesnt break in the middl eof the pull), and I would say try to fin da used warn rather than a cheap chinese winch.
Ohter than replacing the solenoids, my 10+ year old warn still works bitchin.

milemarker makes good cheap winches to
i dunno what the hell u guys r talkin about but my old warn 8k has seen the {expletive} of wheelin. and its drug me and my buddys tied together through some pretty deep gooey {expletive} and never had a problem.
so im gonna say dont go out and spend some serious bucks on a new warn or milemarker or whatever. my dibs go to the older warns...the newer ones tend to fry selenoids and overheat. i picked mine up from a guy in the paper...lucky find i guess but if u can find one they run underwater packed with mud in 25* weather...they just go. but im def gonna say stick to warn. and for your truck you shoudnt need anything bigger than an 8k winch. i mean you could prolly pull ur truck out of some decent crap with a double lined 2k winch. ive seen it done but dont recommend it.

i sure hope you plan on makin a guard for that...that plastic control box is gonna yell at trees. "hit me hit me" i can see it all now.
If you are talking about me, I really don't plan on driving straight into any trees :silly: BTW I already sold this rig.

And the front
Why did you mount it soo high?
Mine mounted down, and bolted through the frame (it sits really close to my radiator.
I don't want to take over this guys thread, but I mounted it up high because I didn't want to hit it on the rocks. And I wanted to keep my approch angle really good. I saw another thing this last weekend that made me glad it is up so high, I saw I guy dunking his head is cold a$$ water trying to unlock his winch because it was mounted too low and was under water. Do what you like, that's what I do...
