We recently made the decision to be dealers for Comeup Winches.
Two things drove this:
1. constant requests from customers about which winches fit, where and how to mount solenoid/control packs, etc
2. hearing testimonials from multiple people with direct experience with these winches
Once we made this decision, it made answering #1 much easier. We have made a control box (what used to be the solenoid pack) mounting bracket that allows the box to be mounted to the winch, inside the bumper in a low profile manner, while still allowing easy access to the wired remote connection and the power button. The bracket works with the winch mounted in either "feet forward" or "feet down" winch orientation.
We will be offering and fully supporting the Seal Slim 9.5rs and Seal Slim 12.5rs models, with pre-installation available (your bumper arrives and all you have to do is attach power and ground).
Pics below are the Seal Slim 12.5rs installed in 94 shop rig.
We had to weigh a couple things when deciding which direction on this mount.
a. If you have the
@LandCruiserPhil added electric fan, pretty sure mounting the control pack this way won't work. Without having one of those to test with, can't say for sure. If you DO have one of those fans, or an added heat exchanger of some kind (say you have a
@NLXTACY turbo kit and added an A2A cooler and put the heat exchanger up there), the bracket included with the winch from Comeup will allow the pack to be mounted on top of the motor and still fit, when the winch is mounted in "feet down" orientation. In this situation, the wired remote plug
will sit above the top of the bumper, but it's still a pretty low profile setup.
b. If you have or want to mount lights (LP9, etc) directly to the top of the bumper, you will
have to use the mount pictured below (versus the one included with the winch from Comeup), or figure something else out. There just won't be enough clearance to get the lights mounted while using the bracket included from Comeup.
SO, if you're one of the weird ones (here's lookin at you
@Dirty Koala 
) who has both LP9s
and a heat exchanger mounted in front the AC, you will still be looking at a potentially interesting mounting solution (but if you're that far down the rabbit hole, it's assumed you can handle such things).
As usual, if you have any questions, as away.
About an inch of clearance between control pack and AC condenser:

Grille on, showing access. Everything you see here is well below the top of the bumper.
