Winches and winch-ready bumpers go hand in hand as an essential that most truck drivers need. So how do you make sure that you get the right winch and how do you find the right bumper to go with it?
This type of Winch is designed to tackle everything you might need to do, with an advanced look that’s here to impress. Its stainless steel hardware resists corrosion, combined with an automatic mechanical brake that holds the full-rated load and offers great control when winching. The aluminum drum design is great to ensure less wear on the rope while the three-stage planetary gear train maximizes the winch line speed as you minimize the strain on your charging system.
What if it doesn’t fit?
Here are a few things you need to take into consideration when you’re about to purchase your ZEON winch:
- The Warn ZEON Winch is quite a tall winch, as such you might need to also get a ZEON control box relocation kit (89960). Something that you also need when you need to mount it to your bumper.
- If you have an Iron Cross bumper, remember that the winch you choose should be under 9.5 inches tall to fit. So, once you got your winch ready to use, which kind of bumper do ya need to have everything you need at once?
