hey! can you tell me where to find that kind of winch mount? I'm looking for one and would like to stay as stock as possible and that looks nice.

Stickman73, It is a multimount from Warn. Here is the site:
http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-s..._carrier.shtml

I did a search on the part number for lowest price on the web. I like it alot. I have a cable running to the front and rear of my truck so I can use the winch from either end. Nothing like getting stuck somewhere, and the only tree is the one BEHIND you

I feel the same way . . . not real thrilled about spending my next $300 on shocks or springs on a truck with 7K miles on it. I need a compressor for my train horn

The other hitch is from Bodiak. Go to www.bodiak.net and you will see them. It fits right over the tow hooks. I painted mine to match the factory color. I also used the Randy Ellis light bar, but had to fab it by welding it to the Bodiak as the light bar from Randy Ellis also mounts behind the tow hooks. I really like the set up . . it works out nice.
Thanks for the info. I think I am going to do something very similar. Looks great.

well got the bad news from dealer to day he said no way on the higher rated springs. Looks like I am S.O.L. sooooo I guess I will my be seeing Mr. thuren.

That really stinks . . . . . with my luck, I will just get my new shocks/springs on the truck, and get a recall letter in the mail the next week to have the dealer replace them

I can't see this becoming a recall. For a recall to happen there would have to be some kind of safety issue, and I don't think this will fall under that category.

FirstDodge - You wouldn't happen to have a side shot of your truck would you? I would like to see how far the winch sticks out. Thanks.
