Thanks   Brent Fox (Bfox) Member Username: Bfox Post Number: 48 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, April 21, 2003 - 04:01 pm:    It will fit w/o any drilling, however the top holes don't line up to run bolts through the vertical rollers. Hope this make sense. Let me know and I'll take a pic.

I had to drill two holes on the fairlead to line up with the lower mounting holes of the winch, real easy, you can see in the pic where the new lower bolt holes are. Also had to use a spacer kit so that the winch drum clears the bumper, arb 3500050, could fab some or just use grade 8 washers.   James (Jimmyg) Member Username: Jimmyg Post Number: 235 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, April 21, 2003 - 05:04 pm:    Thanks, On the fairlead that I have, when I put it up on the bar, there are no parts of the fairlead that stick through the vertical holes on the bar. The fairlead does not stick through like Alan Bates fairlead. Does that matter?   Alan Bates (Alanb) Member Username: Alanb Post Number: 160 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Monday, April 21, 2003 - 05:12 pm:    Jimmy, on mine you have to remove the vertical bolts that come with the fairlead, put the fairlead up to the bumper and use new fairlead vertical bolts supplied with the bumper. Could it be you have a Hawse fairlead? They don't have the vertical and horizontal rollers. If it is a Hawse fairlead it should still work.
