To winch or not to winch

I have a steel plate ICI Magnum RT bumper on my truck, would adding a 9000lb winch cause much more sag? Want to get one just cuz i can lol but dont want to add it if it causes a good bit extra sag

 

Winch will add about 100 lbs.
You could upgrade to higher rated coil spring to handle more weight.

 

get a winch.



always. get. a. winch.

 

Not with synthetic rope it won't.

 

Have a small adult or a large child stand on your bumper, there's your answer.

 

yep... only about 70lbs w/ synthetic

 

My old school Warn XD9000 was 85 lbs with 100' of 5/16" steel wire rope. The rope alone was about 19 lbs and I spooled on 100' of 5/16" Amsteel Blue, which was about 5 lbs. I neglected to weigh the winch with synthetic but it should weigh 71 lbs.
