I did happen to fab one up. Only, one. I can do it again and it runs the same price of my winch carriers. It will take me about 30 days to get one going as I will be out of the county at the end of this month.

Thanks! Just a hitch? I can do one of those. Haven’t built one but could fab one up.

I haven’t shipped one to Canada yet so I couldn’t tell you what that entails. I can look into it here, but that will be tomorrow. The brackets are pretty straight forward and the plate can be picked up from amazon or another plate builder and cut to size. I can even just do the brackets and send them you with the hardware when I check with the shipping companies. Most of the weight comes from the plate when shipping it all together. That would knock of at least $75 of my going prices.

Others make a plate holder for Hawse fairleads. This is one link I found. It will completely depend on how you mount your winch. https://www.quadratec.com/p/tuffy/flip-license-plate-holder-hawse-fairleads?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIq67ugNXi5gIVQyCtBh3y-gO0EAQYBCABEgJP4vD_BwE

I can still make these. No manufacture makes them as it requires drilling into the frame.

All I did was made L brackets and welded them to the hitch receiver that bolts onto the truck. I have made a couple brackets for other people that bolt on to the receiver, but it does require holes to be drilled. The winch plate had to be cut to size to fit where I wanted it to go right behind the bumper. I also had to remove the shaft for the spare tire drop. The factory spare will not fit back in place with this. I run 35’s and that wasn’t an issue for me.

Yes sir! It fits 2014 through 2018 1500’s.

Thank you!

I have got a bracket built. I will say it’s not a a successful build as the original bumper fascia cannot be used without reducing ground clearance. I used a badlands winch, which has the lowest mounting height available on the 12,000lbs market. This is the same case with both diesel and gas. The transmission cooler would have to be relocated and the engine skid plate reduces available room as well. I am sorry I couldn’t accomplish this one.

I sent you a PM.

We have some brackets worked up and I am waiting for the plates to come in so I can test for them this upcoming weekend. We should have a full update in 2 weeks time.

Depends on the winch you use. I have tried to design a lever to assist with free spool, but it doesn’t work with all winches and each one is different. I have upgraded to the Zion 12 for my winches and it has an electronic free spoil via a wireless remote.

It’s the 6.2. As far as mechanical. I have 4.11 gears, BTR stage 2 cam, full exhaust with custom headers, K&N intake, and a Black Bear dyno tune. It’s still a work in progress, but I have several other builds I am working on as well.

Due to recent uptick in interest. I am posting the pricing on here. I have a 2-3 week build time per unit. This is just a hobby and I am more than happy to help anyone with getting their truck to the look they want it. I am in the process of designing and building the 2500/3500 series hidden which setup. I use 1/4 inch steel. I can pre drill all the holes but we have found that the factory holes and frames can be off by as much as 1/4 inch. It is best for you to drill your own holes in the brackets and plates. This setup does require you to drill 2 holes in the frame of the truck. One on each side. And drill out the threads to the rear of the tow hook nuts. I provide all nuts, bolts, and washers in grade 8. The front factory tow hook nut and bolt will be reused. All bolts are 1/2 inch thread. I also provide the snap brackets and bolts for the front license plate cover if your state required it. Plate, brackets, and fascia bracket: $450 includes shipping Plate, brackets, and 2” receiver: $475. Includes shipping.

I have not built one for the 2500’s yet. I can get the measurements and do one from one of the dealers here. What year do you have?

Let me know. I build the brackets for this setup. I haven’t seen any setup with that Westin plate. But to me, it looks like just the plate. Still need the brackets.

Of course I will. I only sell parts. So if you have any questions, I can answer them here in on a PM. I can send my designs via pictures and my own measurements as well if you want to build your own brackets.

I have seen 12,000 lb witches on these as the biggest so far. The measurements could hold a 15,0000 lb WARN, but I don’t know why anyone would put that big of one on a 1500 series truck. A 12,000 lb does the job and anything bigger could get a snatch block.

Rear winch done. I welded these brackets and plates onto the hitch receiver.

What would you like to see? Current mechanical mods are a mild cam, dual Borla Exhaust, 4.11 gears, 4 corner air bags, compressor pump and 3 gallon tank, 50 gal aux fuel cell with auto pump to main fuel tank, front hidden winch. Full Upgrade tow mirrors (DQS). As stated 6” lift, 35x13.5 tires, fuel beast 20” wheels -44 offset. This week I am doing the rear hidden winch and upgrading the fuel injectors. Future mods will be a supercharger and power output to 700hp... hopefully. I have quite a bit of LED lighting on this as you can see. The sport bar is the GM aftermarket bar and I added the 2 middle lights. I have the spare 35 in the bed of the truck leaning against the tool box with a bracket that I built for that. Following the angle of the sport bar.

That’s a good idea. It would work well with the fairlead lower on the facia. Unfortunately, I can’t lower the fairlead because of where I put the receiver. This can be fixed for future builds if anyone wants me to build one. Where my fairlead is now, the plate would stick above the metal bumper about an inch that way. Taking the lines from the bumper and the grill. I was also thinking of building a receiver insert that can hold my plate. But, then it hangs low....... (joke inserted here).... First world issues suck lol.

I hate covering it up. I have thought about where I would put it but like you, I can’t find a good place I like. Any place but where it’s at ruins the symmetry of the truck.

Sounds good. I know someone that has a 15 Sierra that would let me use their truck as a tester for my brackets. Just let me know what you wanna do. It would be about a 3 week lead time.

There is always a need for a winch! I could fab up some brackets for you and send them to you if you decide you want to do one!

It’s a hobby. My cousin does this for a living. He lives in Powell Butte, Oregon. He is the one that helped me with the install on this. I had a vision, designed and fabed the brackets, and he helped do the fit and install. You can PM me and I can see what you want to do.
