Default winch bumper question

Does anyone know if the super winch lp8500 will fit in the rr xhd front bumper?I heard that the solenoid is not removable so it could not fit but was not sure.

Well I have a RR XHD bumper with an Engo winch solenoid mounted on top that wouldn't fit cause the cables coming out the back made it a tad too tight up against the grill. My wheel'n buddy also has a XHD diff winch(Recon?) same problem. He used some washers to move his bumper come out a tad further to fit in the winch..... It's getting dark here but if you can see that's the bolt the washer sits on OBVIOUSLY you have to remove the nut and probably use 3-4 washers on each of the 4 bolts. I'm doing it this weekend. Good luck

I have that bumper with RECON winch and zero problem to fit, took me 30 minutes, very easy.
