I wouldn't get the bumper unless you upgrade your suspension. thanks to the dudes on mud i'm sporting the bumper and 2.5 ARB lift. Heavy duty up front and medium in the back. wish i went with heavy in the rear though. If you like to haul alot of crap like me I would go heavy unless its your DD. both the old and new bumpers look great!
 
There were two styles of the old arb. One was feet forward and one was feet down. The 8274 was designed to be mounted feet forward and would be a difficult job fitting it into a the wrong bumper. One the other hand many of the winches that require the feet down approach can be rotated to fit a feet forward position. I have a 12.5 t-max in mine and it took 15 min to undo part of the winch and rotate it forward. It also seems to me that it is more logical to have the base mounted in suck a way that the winch is pulled into it feet position instead of at a 90 deg angle to the mount as feet down units require.

I have a 'feet forward' bull bar that I am going to install on my 85. It is the original style. Any recommendations on a winch(es) that will bolt in without cutting or grinding?
