It shouldnt be any more difficult, unless the winch is right up on the grill. Mainly, if your winch sits on top of the front bumper and set back against it that will obviously make it more difficult. My winch sits down in my bumper, so really has no effect on removing grill.

I'm at work now but......
I have a Rugged Ridge bumper with stinger, my winch is an Engo 10k with synthetic.
Looks like it will sit down in the RR bumper

My winch sits right in front of my grille making it impossible to remove unless I take the winch off.

I have the Rugged Ridge bumper & a warn x8000i & removing the grille is a pain with the winch up against it.
