SDHQ hidden winch.

I am considering this mount based on forum recommendations. For those that run this, is it beefy enough to take minor hits. On the site it mentions Warn 10k winches. Will I have issues fitting a 12k Badlands winch? I also have a Eibach stage 2 lift set at 2 inches in the front. Will turning the collar but enough for any sag? Thanks in advance.

 

You can start by finding out whether the badland’s winch control relay can be relocated off the winch body, then find out how much space the SDHQ’s winch cradle has.

 

Badlands control box can be mounted separately. SDHQ does not list cradle dimensions. They only display photo of the Warn 10k mounted. Based on that looks like an inch space on either ends.
