Depends on the winch, of course. Most manufacturers will list the
winch weight in the specs. For example, the Warn M12000 on my '92 Ram
weighs in at around 140lbs. That's just for the winch itself, I'm not
sure what the total is when you add in the mounting plate, the 3/8" steel
support system I fabricated for the mounting plate, the dual tube bumper
and brush guard. Good thing its a SFA with nice stiff springs out front.
