Hey all, thinking of going with the ARB bumper. For those of you who are running
these, what sized winch are you using the M8000 or th XD9000?

9000 plus. Make sure you mount to the frame not the crush cans or that ARB will flex too much when being used. Many people find it is better to weld the bumper in for more support.

I always though the General Rule was GVWR X 1.5. Figuring you are moving vehicle weight + moving through whatever has you stuck. Bigger winch may = more draw, but if the power is there, the interval is shorter, and less overall load.
9000
My $.02

I would go with the 9000 you may be in a situation where you are winching yourself and someone else out I have seen that a few times.
