Goes out a good bit, but still a very clean install....I am not a fan of the big a$$ bumpers at all....IMO theres nothing good to come from adding that couple hundred pounds to the front of your truck, not to mention I dont plan on running into any cows anytime soon

I dont have it....but theres a clear picture on their website...follow the link posted. You will see the truck, and you will see the black plastic on the side, in front of the tire.

The Hidden Kit for the '08 Ford Super Duty will accommodate either a large-frame WARN winch (including the 16.5ti) or a short-drum WARN Industrial winch behind the vehicle's original bumper. Once installed, the bumper extends out only 6" farther than stock, and any unsightly gaps can be filled using the Skirting Kit (sold separately). The factory tow hooks will remain in tact and functional, too.

anyone have a cost on this? i googled without much luck...

I saw the hidden winch kit on ebay for $400-500 dollars. Then you have to add the cost of the winch. I'll see if i can find it...not listed at the moment.

The hidden winch systems really "F" up your frame if you get in an accident and you can only get up to a 10 or 12k.... I have a better solution for you.... My bumpers will mount it all hidden, no unsightly gaps like with their systems and a lot better protection too and will mount a 16.5k....

(decided to use one with a model to give you guys a treat.....lol)




EDIT...they made some design changed and are able to fit the 16.5Ti

No doubt that is a nice bumper...I mean dont take this the wrong way.....but to ME...PERSONALLY I dont like those big a$$ heavy bumpers....I dont like the way they look....its like putting stacks on a damn pickup....and I dont like the idea of having all that extra weight hanging off my front end wearing out stuff faster.

If I get into an accident that messes my bumper up at the height I'm at the last thing I'll be worrying about is my frame being messed up. Hopefully Raul will chime in with a price and avail.

oh Chalk it up to personal taste and all.....but keep in mind, this isnt a ranchhand so it doesn't have all that weight wearing parts out.... we are about 160lbs versus a 330 lbs ranchhand.... but we have all the strength still... its all good though.... some people love them, some people have them....
