8K or 10K lb winch?
I have been looking at getting a winch for my 2012 JKUS. I just picked up a Posion Spyder brawler lite front bumper and its telling me I need one.
I have searched and read many post and some say 8000 lb is ok, but you can use a snatch block to get extra pounds. I'm working on a limited budget about $500. I know the brands, but what size?
Thanks for any help!

I went with a mile marker sec8 scout with synthetic line rated at 8000 lbs cost me under 500 shipped from a vendor on here, Chris from Jeep add-ons I think his name was. Very nice, capable winch, and name brand.
