Default Winch for LOD

I just ordered an LOD Mid Width front bumper. I want to install a low profile winch; which one do you recommend???

This must be hard or no one knows. I posted this thread on another forum and only got one response.

If someone has an answer or sugestiong, please post.

I have the same bumper and the Smittybilt XRC10 Comp. Unless you're mounting a Warn Powerplant or 8274 (both big and tall) just about anything should work. This is is more about the design of the bumper and the placement of the winch mounts to keep the winch low between the frame rails.

Side note... Check with LoD on the holes for the winch. When I mounted mine up it was something like 1/2-inch off-center. Reading on this forum, I determined that they'd designed for a specific winch vendor (Warn or Superwinch, I think). Worth looking into.

My Warn 9.5ti fit with no issues in my LoD full width.
