Hey guys ,

I mounted the Warn XD 9000 on my 98 frontier last night and the front of the truck went down almost 2", it looks like my truck is about to tip over. I tried to crank the TB about 9 turns and it only went up 1/2". The winch mount is homegrown and I think it's about 50lbs plus the winch, about 130lbs total. Is the winch too big for the truck? I had it on my 87 yj and it looked fine then.

Thanks,

Nope. Keep turning up those Tbars until you get back to your original height. You may need to reindex them to get the right amount of adjustment.

You can also get a nice UHMWP winch line. Saves alot of weight, although it isn't as strong, and they cost too much imo. But I got one because of the front end sag, and was glad I did.

Good deal, and thanks a bunch.

The synthetic line I got is stronger than steel for size for size.

the truck looks good now after i cranked the TBs about 8 more turns. The front is about an inch taller than the rear. It looks mean now. Thanks everybody

How bad is the camber? lol

My imagination sucks. I want pictures dangit

I think it's toed in a bit, but I am going to drive it to work in the morning and let the TBs settle in.

I installed sway-aways because of this problem, a year ago. Now I have the ARB and winch to install.
