    Hi folks -- I've got an '09 4cyl, to which I've just added a URD supercharger. Only one problem: between the intercooler and the winch plate on my c4 hybrid bumper, I've only got about 6.5" of clearance. With some massaging of the bumper mount and intercooler mountings, I can probably squeeze out another 3/4" of clearance, so a grand total of 7.25". Does anyone know any winches that can fit in this space? Happy to do some mods to the winch as well if needed...

    That's not alot of room. Here's a Warn evo 8, even if you can relocate the control pack, it still looks like not enough. Unless you can find a lower profile one and the clutch lever is horizontal not verticle.

    The clutch handle can rotate to the front on the Warn if that helps
