Default OR-Fab Stinger Stubby w/offset winch mount?

Will a smaller winch like a Warn M-8000 work just fine with the offset mount? I figure it will but have no experience with them. I can get an offset a lot cheaper than a center mount is why I'm asking.

TIA.

Jason

Like this, but with the opening for the fairlead and winch over to the driver's side (I believe) more.

Hey Jason,

You can use the Warn M-8000 with the offest bumper. This bumper is made for the Powerplant winches so the fairlead will be offset, but other than cosmetics of not having a centered fairlead... you'll be fine.

That's what I figured, but I didn't know for sure.

Thanks a million!
