I cut up a real nice one. I love it. It drives, accelerates, stops, parks and four wheels like a big bad 4X4.

Lower is better. What degree could you traverse with 53's and an 8 inch lift? I'll bet it's not much. I have 53's with ONLY a 2 1/2 inch spring lift and nothing rubs. The front tires do come within an inch of the back side of the fender wells when they are turned all the way and...

I probably will use the rear cross member , just haven't got that far along yet. The two angle braces however won't fit because the winch is in the way. I can't slide the winch any further forward because of the spring perches. This whole rear winch thing started with trying to get the weight...
No, I didn't get the mount plates with the winch. I used the front bumper extensions. I cut them in half, flipped them around, and slid them into the frame making it 'boxed'
