Measure the bolt hole placement on your winch plate. When you check the winch web site they will have a template for the winch you are interested in. Compare the template measurement to your measurements.

warn got back to me and said the m8000 m12000 and the m8472?? will fit so i am gonna go with the m12000 since the formula came out to just over 10000lbs. i sent em pics of my bumper and they said it was the old style original winch bumper.

now i just need the money the powerplant wont fit
