Rough Country Hidden Winch Mount for GM 1988-1998 1500/1995-1999 Tahoe - 11008

I know it says it doesn't fit a Raptor, which is true. It doesn't take much trimming to make it fit perfect. My experience on the Raptor install: The opening where the winch rope exits has a plastic grill you remove. This grill is unique in shape and size on the Raptor Gen 1 compared to the F150. Take out the plastic and cut all the tabs on the top off with a saw or cutoff wheel. Cut all of the tabs on the bottom of the opening except the two outboard tabs which can stay and even be useful for mounting a pair of small lights. There is a tab on the drivers side on the thicker frame material about the size of a quarter that will interfere, cut it off with a Sawzall. Once you get these tabs off the install is the same as the F150 instructions. I put a 12000lb Badland that I have had for a few years in and it fit perfect. Relocation of the control box is a perfect fit. The quality of the welds and finish appears very good. It's heavy which is a good thing. Bolts match up perfectly. Shipping caused a few chips which I touched up with black paint. I repainted the front to match the rest of the Raptor bumper and flares with Rustoleum Flat Soft Iron Metallic spray paint, which is almost a perfect match to the bumper. I did not use the front cover with license relocation provided as it doesn't fill the opening on the Raptor. Instead I mounted two 3" lights to either side of the winch mounting plate. High quality with good hardware that is well executed and delivered fast. I'm impressed with Rough Country stuff.
