Warn M8000 won't fit AEV Premium Front Bumper????
Just installed the AEV Premium Bumper and a new Warn M8000 winch but the control box won't fit. Does anyone know if Warn changed their design and isn't compatible now with AEV? In addition, even if it did slightly fit, the fog lights cannot fit because they hit the control box. Help!

I just installed the sam bumper with a Smitty X20 and it was tight - but doable.
