    Front spare tire mount suggestions

    i do agree. only concern i could see would be the airflow to the radiator. but as stated, the fan should pull enough thru, unles the tire is too close to it, or the fan isnt working correctly

    what i've seen, that warn grill guard is about 85lbs with out winch. and he did say if there would be a winch on there or not. but yea, that is a good bit of weight added to the front

    Front spare tire mount suggestions

    these two are great points. but having the fan running alot (non-electric units) would put more load on the motor. not always an issue, but could be if pulling a large enough trailer up big enough mountain. if the grill guard is ment to hold and support a winch, holding a tire should not be a...

    Yea, but adding all that weight above the CG jus makes the CG even higher, and a real high CG isnt good. Then add in this lift kit....

    Safety Thimble for Steel Cable?

    Yea. I think every one that buys a winch should go thru H8 school (armys recovery school).

    Safety Thimble for Steel Cable?

    Good points, snake. Something like that is why i'd rather use good strap to loop onto the tow point of the truck. And the pic of the two strap ends on the hook? Pretty dumb move anyway. Put the strap ends on a shackle then hook the shackle.

    looking for hitch extenders

    Black_ZJ, that one probably hase the highest rating of any of the others i found, @4000lbs. Most were 3500lbs. The DRH3 is rated for 5000lbs, and i'm sure i could easily get someone to brace that up some more.
