12000lbs :shock: that's a wee bit overkill for a suzuki! There are plenty of places out there that make winch bumper rhino rays, offroad armory etc.

just to let you know rhino rays bumpers are very heavy! but ive seen people drive and knock down trees with them and the bumper doesnt even have a scratch on it let alone a dent! :lol:

I got a 12000 winch as well, only reason was it was £20 difference between it and the 9k one! lol overkill but rather than too much than too little, mind you i can see me pulling the bumper off lol

9000 is overkill for a suzuki in my opinion :lol: if you are worries about ripping your bumper off then I would suggest more mounting points! How is it attached?
