Winch Mounts/relocating cooling lines

Good morning! [I searched] I have watched a lot of videos/ read a lot of install pdfs. Most of the winch mounts/bumpers call for the cooling lines to be relocated. Have any of you had long term issues with relocating the lines? I am not sure if a closer distance to the radiator would cause any adverse effects. Thanks!

 

Most winch installations it's best to relocate the control box rather than mess with the radiator support or the cooling lines. You can get mounting brackets that mount the box off the radiator support.
I guess it depends on what bumper you have or are looking at.

 

Most still require moving the lines simply to fit the winch in there.

2 years in and I don't see any potential issues from relocating the coolant lines yet. But as noted I didn't touch the support bar and just relocated the control box.
​

 

I put a Warn Evo 10S behind my bumper, relocated the winch control box and didn’t cut any truck parts (for the winch install) and didn’t move the cooling lines.

I’ll add some pictures in a bit, but in the mean time look up an install video by @ClassyTacos. I used the control box relocation that he came up with.

no problems after my shdq hidden mount with apex winch. but i didn't relocate anything, just tweaked the existing brackets to clear
