Not yet waiting for it to come in the mail
I have a 12.5 in an ARB. To fit it with the solenoid pack in the standard position I had to chop off the light mounting tab. I ended up chopping the second one off too and have great access to the T handle.
Drilled a couple of holes in the bumper and relocated the lights. I like it better anyway, little less blocking airflow.

Yes.

so all you did was space it back an inch and chop the light tabs off?
I think it was 1/2", but yes.

Did you need to use the arb spacer kit? Also I ordered the winch from Mainline Overland and they said I would need an offset hawse and possibly the spacer kit. Worse case if I can’t get it to fit properly I’ll have them install it
No, a friend made me a set. I didn't know ARB made a kit.

Yea I didn’t know they did until someone mentioned it in another post
What kind of turn signal lights do you have in the bumper?I have a 12.5 in an ARB. To fit it with the solenoid pack in the standard position I had to chop off the light mounting tab. I ended up chopping the second one off too and have great access to the T handle.

The kit includes a couple of steel bars, maybe 1/2" to 3/4" thick. Each bar is pierced at each end , which is where the mount bolts go through. Nothing you can't fab with minimal skills. It's designed for the old Warn 10k the ARB was originally designed for, so in many cases you'll need a little more spacing than it supplies. You can add a few washers or another bar on top of what ARB supplies or just DIY it completely and save the expense.
Sorry, no idea. They were already installed when I got the truck.

Looking to do this exact winch, where did you get the cradle to mount?
