Ok...I've been sitting here doing a little more research and maybe I should specify...I was planning on a warn 16.5ti or the Superwinch EP16.5. I also contemplated the 15,000lb warn due to some negative reviews on the 16.5ti (Not stopping right away being the biggest problem) Anyhow, I did find that Ramsey makes a 12,000lber that is mounted foot down, but they don't have the best (or worst) reputation. I don't plan on using it that often, but when I need it, I will most likely NEED it. Basically, I am looking for any more info than I already have, personal experiences, and help thinking out loud.
