    I’m new on this forum, Im asking for some help and input.
    I will be installing my bumper soon it’s a SSO Hybrid and If I purchase a Warn Powerplant dual force HP 9.5 winch (with a built in compressor) will I have the clearance behind the grill? I’m expecting modifications but has anyone seen this work? Or should I go a different route with the winch and on board air?

    There's no way that's gonna fit behind the grill. Will that even fit in the SSO bumper itself?

    That’s why I’m asking. I’m not sure. I just wanted input before I pull the trigger.

    My best guess is no way in hell. The zeon 10S platinum barley fits, IIRC.

    From what I've seen, the winches that don't have the ability to have the remote control module, you have to remove (cut) the lower bracket. So you can be sure that will have to happen for that. However, if it's deeper than a standard winch (I haven't looked at any dimensions) then I don't see it fitting at all. If it's all just taller, then you might be able to fit it. With that said, why would you want your compressor mounted in a bumper that you can't hardly access? Even with the access holes, it would be a tough reach, or you could go from up top but that too will be a tough reach. I think there's either better bumpers (if you're set on the winch) or better winch/compressor combos if you're set on the bumper.

    I appreciate the input. It would be difficult to access. I’m going a different route.
