Want to use a winch with steel cable with our hidden winch mount or winch bumper? This is the Fairlead you need! Aluminum fairleads will get destroyed, but not this Warn Industrial heavy duty steel Hawse Fairlead. Designed for 10,000 and 12,000 lbs. winches with steel cable.
The Vice Design team knocked this one out of the park! The fit and finish were perfect, and even the packaging was top-notch. One of my sons helped me install it in the morning.
I only have one warning, which has nothing to do with Vice or the product design; if you are in a front plate state, you can reuse the OEM mount, but only the top two holes. It will partially block the winch cable if you have to pull at an upward angle. I am not sweating it too much. If planned winching, its two screws to remove the plate mount. If it were an emergency, its just plastic and I wouldn't care.
Overall, i am impressed and would buy again!
I am unsure as to where to begin 😊
I have installed a few winches in my lifetime on various vehicles, ALWAYS had to remove the bumper and was a major ordeal. The level of design that went into this hidden winch mount (2025 Ram Rebel) is indescribable. Every bolt, every bracket fit without any problems. I expected to have to ream bolt holes out or have a lot of grunting and leveraging items, nope nothing.
The hardest part of the install was removing the bolts on my factory skid plate.
Took 4.5 hours to install. Used the YouTube video Vice Designs created along with their written instructions, both were excellent. This kit will not disappoint you. Also the support (numerous email) prior to purchasing were answered VERY promptly which reassured me they would be there to support any problem which there were none.
Great job guys, great product!!
Installed in about 2 hours. Great instructions!
This Vice mod 2 bumper was super easy to install and only took me about 40 minutes to mount it up could've been have that time if I had another person help me.Fit and finish is perfect, absolutely Zero problem with anything. Paired with the FNG3 fog lights this setup is hard to beat, if you're wanting a new front bumper just get this one you'll be happy you did.
Really well made & engineered product. I was shocked at how quickly it was shipped/delivered.
