    Like, so many.
    Will you need to add a switch for that?

    Did anybody actually take some fender hub measurements on stock before and after install?

    Yep. No noticeable change for me ... but then again I did not add a winch.

    Can you feel the weight driving?

    When putting on my Sounders, I could tell a noticable diff in the suspension after. The weight didn't effect my mpg at all, so Im just curious

    Yeah, just a little bit. Mainly on-ramp/off-ramp above 30-40mph it has a little more understeer than I remembered having. Around town I can't really tell.

    Full disclosure: I put my Firestone airbags on 3 days prior, which changed the rear behavior slightly ... and does have some rebound effect to the front. This could also have something to do with perception of understeer, as it is a bit firmer in the corners now.

    So im hopeing with a winch it will sag no more than 1/2" otherwise my tires will probably rub... will find out over the next couple weeks. Bumper is getting color matched as we speak.

    Still loving my SSO bumper. Played support vehicle for the MiG guys over the weekend. Never know when this thing will come in handy!

    It was exactly the same for me. No winch, but I imagine if you are going synthetic, it shouldn't make much of a difference.

    Even with synthetic the winch is still not "light". Lighter than steel cable tho.

    Very true. I guess you are really only saving maybe 20lbs or so depending on the line size, plus a bit for the aluminum fairlead vs roller.

    Same here, but I started to experience more rubbing, so I'm about to install 1/4" spacers and UCA's since my 888 coils weren't made for the added weight.

    Just installed my SSO slimline bumper. I can't say enough about the quality of the welds and the fit. There were no conflicts anywhere including with the TRD Pro skid plate, and original tow hooks. While I haven't pulled anything with it yet, I expect there would be no problems. Aesthetically, I really appreciate the slim look as well. Finally, although I was not part of the group buy, they gave me an excellent deal. If you don't already have an aftermarket bumper check out these Louisiana guys.

    I did, but no winch and TRD Baja suspension with Eibach springs. No change.
