winch mounting troubles

[Kfire01]

Just finished a DIY front bumper kit from NWTI. Great product, but my problem is trying to mount a Badlands 12000# winch. The tranny cooler is in the way of the winch. Has anyone ever run into this? Any winches out there that are a little smaller than the Badlands? I looked at the 9500# and it was the same size.

I just did this the other day. I just bent the spring mount sideways so it clears the tranny cooler. I also have to clock the engagement lever for the same reason. works like a charm.

Thanks, I will try that.
