Looking for a front winch mount for a 22 2500 Cummins. Open to replacing the bumper but want to keep it chrome. Also willing to do a front receiver but the truck has active grill shutters. Ideas are welcome. Picture is appreciated. Thank you

Go with a hitch - they usually mount under the bumper valance.

Get this winch.


If you want to be a poser and going for looks ...

Warn Transformer 4 is what I used on my 2021 Ram 2500. This one has a 17,500 Lb winch in it but it will accommodate all the way down to 9,000 LBs. With the lighter winch most pulls will require at least double lining. I had a similar Transformer on my 96 2500, and with the 9000 LB winch it needed double line for anything but the easiest pulls. It did however haul that big truck out of a ton of really nasty spots for 26 years without ever giving me a minutes problem.

Unless you are pulling straight ahead, a receiver mounted winch on trucks this heavy is a REALLY bad idea.

We will normally do a color matched bumper as there are no chome options available B5837ACD-637E-46C1-A5CB-81A07D415D20.jpeg
