    I want to add the C4 Lo Pro bumper and a winch to my 2021 TRD Pro, but I am looking to do so without adding a ton of weight to the front end. What is the lightest, quality, 10K ish winch I can fit inside the bumper?

    Thanks!

    RSG sliders, Yakima offgrid basket, Pro-Comp wheels, SOS Streamline bumper and skids, Warn VR EVO10S winch + Ultimate Sidewinder, Bilstein 6112 + 5100 + rear lift coils, Rigid Dually SS ditch lights w/Caliraised brackets and OEM style dash switch
    Most of the 10K winches will be about the same size. Going with a synthetic line will save you some weight.

    Even so, you're probably going to get some sag with that bumper and a winch. I think one of the suspension manufacturers might make upgraded Springs for the Pro. Otherwise, your only options are to deal with it or to upgrade the front suspension.

    Probably could toss a 1/4" spacer in there, too, if there's sag. That would likely put it back to factory height.

    Ditto on the synthetic line. If you aren't locked in to that particular bumper you could also get a hidden winch bumper to save weight; I want to say mine was a gain of maybe 70 lbs (including winch) after factoring in weight of the removed OEM components.

    Opted for the aluminum version of Victories Blitz w/o tube work (35 pounds), plus a ZEON 12 S(synthetic/80 pounds). That combination did not budge the front springs, at all.

    Jer-
    Been following your methodical build since you got your Moon Rock. Awesome build.

    I’m considering the same Aluminum Victory bumper and a Warn 10k# synthetic winch like yours on my ‘21 Pro but I’m concerned with possible front end sag if I stay with the stock Fox/Pro suspension that comes in the ‘21 models. When you reported no sag with your installations, is it with the factory Fox suspension?

    Personal choice. They'll both get the job done....most of the time.

    Thought so. Thought I’d ask. Thanks again.
