I have a yamaha kodiak 450 2006. Im looking for a winch. In the next days I want to buy the WARN 3.0 ci. But, I am worried because the size of this winch. Seems to be too long for my quad. I am worried about room or clearance problems in the momment of the installation in the front of my quad.
Anyone have installed the warn 3.0 ci on a kodiak 450 ?
If so, do you have any pics of this set up ?

 

The Warn 3.0ci is 0.18" longer and 0.10" lower than the Warn 2.5ci.
3.0ci weights 4LB more and has Limited lifetime warranty vs. 2.5ci 1 year limited warranty.
My father has the 2.5ci, no clerance issues (stock tires)
This is the only pic I have I can get a better one this weekend if it would help.
