(you install the winch after the bumper is on, not before) I told the guys at ADD about the problem and hopefully they made the corrections.  If it does not fit (winch hits the condensing unit) all you have to do is have a small plate welded in front of their plate and drill new holes for the mounting of the winch. Just make sure you have a GOOD welder, don't want that to come flying off when you are pulling your truck out. Also watch for the bumper rubbing the piece of molding on the top and center of the bumper.  If it rubs a washer or two between the bumper and the frame on the top bolts turns the bumper out enough so it won't rub.This is my first synthetic rope on a winch, all my old winches had steel cables.  First impression is that I like it but one thing that I did not know, Warn says you should replace the synthetic cable every 12 months!  Time will tell if you really need to, a ne synthetic rope runs $250.00.   I ordered a neoprene cover from Amazon for the winch, I think between that and being that the winch is under the hood (keeping it out of the sun) it should help the life of the rope.  The steel cables had a definate life to them too, on my last truck I had to replace the cable twice in 12 years.  Plus you get an extra 25' using the rope in lieu of cable and it weighs a lot less.  Let me know your impressions of the rope once you get yours.</blockquote>
