    They make kits that you can bolt on but I didn't want to spend $500 on just a mount so I made my own. I bought a winch plate and welded it onto my frame using gussests and a bunch of steel and I had to make a steel cross member

    One went out at 100k and I went ahead and replaced both of them and got a life time warranty. I'm not worried about it I can change it out in an hour

    3" with 33's. No problem whatsoever and pretty much happy with it.
    Have been pondering a DB 6" with 35's but can't justify it until my setup fails to get me where I want to go.

    I really do like that winch mount. Have any pictures of what you made to mount it?

    Nice looking truck! Thats the same wheel Im going to run and it looks good on your truck:cool:

    Good info guys. I was worried about driveline vibrations and such but it sounds like if I get a good lift and good tires I wont have to many issues. Just for the record This is my DD and It will fit the mall crawler status. I use my 2015 RZR 1000 if I wish to go out and play off road:p

    Just cut your fenders for 35's with that lift, then you'll have more clearance than a 6" DB :D
