FINALLY ive got the money for a winch and all the goodies. First mod since the rear locker 5 months ago!

ok so ive been doing my research, and ive come up with the following setups:

1) m8000 with 5/16 x 100 rockstomper synethic rope
3) xd9000 with 5/16 x 100 rockstomper synethic rope
4) hs9500 with 5/16 x 100 rockstomper synethic rope

also, as far as hawse fairleads go, the two best ones ive found are

1) armorology
2) spidertrax

any combination of the above would be acceptable...just looking to get some feedback. price really isnt TOO much of an issue, but id like to keep the total bill for winch/rope/fairlead for 1000.

also ill be having the local shop (carolinarockshop) fix my tjm bumper mounting, and add plenty of bracing; because ive read how the tjm's strength in winching at angles comes in to factor, so what type of bracing should i have them do? the idea was just to have them add some 3/16" steel at certain points, but im not sure which points those would be.

thanks for the feedback!
