More side steps installed.
Just for the front driver and passenger. I don’t haul kids or folks much and don’t see spending $300+ for the rear.
Simple install, I opted just to drop the rock sliders off all together was simpler.
Work well! Lady likes hers on her side and I’ll use mine!
The 8k was more of a min.
Looking at the 9.5k Smittybuilt new one. Looks like one of the lighter ones with some nice features.
The honest truth is mine will rare if not never get used.... but it will look cool! :CWL:
LOL I agree! They have the 12k and the 9500 as the same weight with different motos, wonder if it's a canned response?

Q: How much does this winch weigh? You should add that to the spec's tab on things like this.

A: 64...
Why do the manufactures hide what there winches weigh? Warn, not on there page, Smitybuilt nope not on the spec page.
Jeeze WTH?
So I put to you all;
What's the lightest weight winches? Assume synthetic rope.
Smitybuilt 9500 S looks like it's apx 60 pounds, but that's a "ship weight".
Warn...
For the OP;
You are going to be close to max, pay attention to the load (ie where it sites) don't load the truck up, go slow, and you would probably be fine.
Check all your boxes; tire pressure, tongue weight, speed lower.
For the DaveA vs crowd:
Ya, ya all miss the Magnuson part of Dave's...
For the mount, I like this one the most. Got and returned a couple I just didn't like.

Serious answer;
As others stated, drop to factory tires and or regear. Running big tires robs a lot of power and changes how that power is delivered.
You would get a lot of usability back and it would be a lot less than a diesel.
But, the diesel aside for the heat issues is an awesome rig.
I went with the pro's for my pillar mounts. Some times more is not better; fog snow.
I figured the middle was the best balance of power out put but not over outputting.
I did do the SAE ones.
