I have a sunken bumper. It's not the winch that doesn't fit. It's the wires exiting the rear of the solenoid box that sits on top of the winch. It's a pretty common issue. The box sits too far back and the wires run directly into the grill. In fact, if I didn't have a sunken bumper, it wouldn't be an issue as the wires could pass through the grill. A quick google search and you can see plenty of pictures of the issue. If it's not an issue, great. If it is, use one of the aforementioned solutions.

Same issue here with the wires pushing into the grill. I relocated the control box under the hood and installed a wireless controller. It's performed good every time I've had to use it. Engo EPF10000S

The pictures aren't of my Jeep, but same issue. In the first picture you can see where the wires come out of the box and into the grill. The picture is after it was fixed, but prior to the fix the box sits back a couple inches further and the wires can't fit in front of the grill. Picture two shows one option to fix it, which is what I did. Fab up a bracket to mount the box forward a few inches. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=564991"/> <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=564992"/>
