Question What Are These Left Over Warn M8000 Plugs / Caps For?

Finished up a Warn M8000 winch install and had these left over? What are they for? The only thing I can think of is to cover the hawse or roller fairlead mounting bolts. Am I right or wrong?

Ok answered my own question should have checked the parts list first. Part number 50 on the attached parts list link plastic plug for hawse fairlead bolts. They don't show on the parts list that shows the roller fairlead.

Curious .... Did you notice any immediate front end sagging of your jeep after installing your winch??
I have the XHD front bumper with stinger and will soon be adding a winch.... Wondering if I should add more spacers cause of the winch weight.... Already have1" teraflex spacers after installing full Teraflex 3" suspension lift at Christmas.... Thx

Not to hijack the thread, but how is the Teraflex 3" working out for you, ride and height wise?

Sure did, I haven't taken a tape measure to it yet. Stock springs and shocks. My stock spring numbers are in my profile if you are curious. Feels like the suspension in the front end is floating a bit, and the nose dives a bit when coming to a stop. Not unexpected. I've got to get rims / tires and a mild lift / stiffer springs that will carry the load and return me to stock height or maybe a little higher than stock. David at Northridge cut me such a good deal for the hardware I couldn't pass it up and moved the rims and tire down a few notches on the build list.

I'm interested in the Terraflex 1.5" performance lift + new shocks or stiffer stock height OME springs with stock length OME shocks.

edit

When I said sure did I should have added that the winch, XHD bumper, Pre-runner Bar, and RRC rails were all added over the course of a long weekend and the sag was not unexpected.

Ok thanks .... Here's hoping my new Teraflex coils and shocks are stiffer then stock..... Sounds like I'll have to add more spacers too.
