The opening is offset. It's not centered. I learned that the hard way when installing lights into the bumper.Wonder why they didn't line up exactly?
Good to know! I am considering flipping mine and mounting my winch about 8" higher up on the frame to keep the lateral guide rollers up out of harms way. I will pay a bit more attention now that I know this is the case. Thanks for the knowledge that only comes from those... "Oh... that's not what I was expecting" moments.The opening is offset.

So, when it's flipped upside down, the offsets are on the opposite side.
If you've never paid attention to the front bumper, you might have missed it.

I have a winch-less truck. Was tempted to do the above mod but I also thought it might be a bit too low.Not good if you do much off road, the approach angle on the winch trucks is already terrible. Although if you’re dragging the front bumper a lot, you need to start watching your fuel tanks so you don’t rip it off.
I suspect after seeing them driving the streets of Baghdad the bumper was added to clean the street of vehicles. Because of the truck's high original bumper you run the risk of driving up onto something and getting slowed down or hung up. A poor soldiers snowplow for shoving cars out of the way.Not good if you do much off road, the approach angle on the winch trucks is already terrible.
