Attention Rampage Front Bumper Owners
 
Just to make sure aware, the Warn Zeon line does NOT work with the rampage bumper. It took me two days of hacking my bumper to hell, and it can be done, just know that this will NOT be a bolt on and go. You will be swearing A LOT and have bloody knuckles.

This is/was the problem.....

The winch made contact with the bumper before the bolts were tight.

After cutting, grinding, and LOTS of swearing, I managed to get it to work.

Warn winches are kinda bulky I think. I've seen a few different scenarios where the winch makes contact with the bumper. Also, some bumpers are only made for certain pulling capacity winches. Mine wasn't made for a 9.5ti but the BFH said otherwise.

Which winches fit properly to this bumper ??
 
I have the Rampage front bumper. Looking to outfit it with a winch, and would like to know if any other Rampage front bumper owners can recommend a winch that fits easily without modifications to the bumper such as were required by the Zeon.

Any photos would be appreciated.

Update - Answer from Rampage received
 
They say the only winches that do not work with "our Bumpers are the Warn M8275 series winch due to it being a face mount versus a bottom mount and the new Warn Zeon winch series (All of them)".

They say they are working to make the Zeon line fit.
