I am going to get a winch for my beast of a ram.. but I am not sure what brand to go with.. I'd love a Warn but I can't see paying a cool grand for one.. Any ideas??
1) How much does that beast of a truck I own weigh??
2) Does anyone know if it will fit behind the bumper??

i have no sticker.. and i was asking more if anyone's had success with it.. and possibly what they managed to mount behind it. Not so much of a defined yes or no answer

You probably need a new bumper designed to house a winch. Or a custom made one. Don't think you can mount one behind the stock bumper anywhere. Could be wrong.

Where's the poll?
I had a Warn 8274 on my 79 chevy K30 and a Warn M12000 on my 87 GMC K2500. Both never failed to get my stupid butt out of trouble. Obviously I vote for Warn. Look into their VR series. They're cheaper and priced to compete with the entry level winches coming on to the market.
