Since I didn't spend big bucks in lifting my jeep cause it's also my DD, I went with a Warn M8000S.
I figured I might have more of a chance getting stuck, so I might as well get a reliable winch. I did upgrade springs and shocks to support the winch and bumper.

 

I know everyone shits on the rugged ridge but my buddy has a rugged ridge 8500 with synthetic line and it has held up great. I purchased one myself but have not used it yet. Depending on how much you plan on using it...if you take care of it (no crazy long pulls, use a snatch block, etc.) it should be fine. Here's hoping ....ready for the shit storm to start!

 

Look around for a used Warn. I found a great deal on a 9.5cti.

 

I bought the Engo 10k syn. line for $420, made people believe in them in the Green Swamp in Cen. Fl. Never failed, never over heated. I have 2 Warns, this one is just as good for half the price. Don't bring the Shittybuilt to the swamp, you will just get laughed at.

 

Don't forget the battery, you will need a good one for your winch!
