04' Chevy Silverado, Ext/Cab, Z71..what winch?
Just bought a truck as described in the title. It already has the Warn Transformer mounting system up front with a M8000 winch. To my knowledge, this is not quite enough line pull for a 6,400 lb truck. I've always heard a minimum of 1.5 x GVW, meaning I need 9,600 lb min line pull for my application.
What kind of winch are ya'll running with a similar size truck? Do most go with a 12k lb winch or a 10k lb winch? Brands, suggestions, personal experiences?

8k pounds is enough to lift your truck off the ground
many people go with the 9k-15k winches but have more than what they rly need
i think personaly your good but if you want to change go big or go home with somthing 10k or higher
