Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
I have the doi w/warn 8000lb winch, love it but want to get synthetic line. would have spent the extra $75.00 and gotten the 9.5 if I was paying attention but my cheap a$$ side came out  and looked at the lower price and didn't see actual price difference. the 8000lb pulled plenty good when I got myself sitting on the frame in a mud hole. single line pull, that was after I found a suitable winch point. first try pulled a tree out of the ground(oops) but if you have a snatch block I think it would have plenty pull

I mount my WARN to a front tow receiver. However I don't recommend this because it does limit the approach angle. I think the winch mount made by Cris is the best out there so far.
I don't see any feedback about a winch and the suspension. Hitting a pot hole with a 100 pound winch on the front is a lot of g forces, I would like some opinions of that issue.
What about security?

I've got an integrated winch bumper and brush guard on my front end and I don't lose any sleep over the weight issue. I use synthetic line which helps a bit. If I was worried, I would still keep the winch and tell my wench...I mean wife...to sit in the back.

Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
I'll probaly get an integrated version, there are a few out there, so security is not really an issue there.
