    Well I made a post a couple of days ago that I found a Koenig winch bumper. I got the bumper mounted and bolted on. But the front universal joint at the winch is to big in diameter and to long will not line up with the intermediate universal joint. The universal joint that I need is 7/8-1/4 x 7/8-3/16. This is what the bumper looks like. The universal joint I have hits the bottom of the grill you can see it sitting on the front bumper next to the winch.

    Clearances and alignments on these are extremely tight even at the best of times.

    It may take quite a bit of finagling, such as moving the intermediate mount, shimming the bumper/mount, or even dimpling the body metal slightly. Possibly the body mounts have sagged. And your winch looks just a tad high to me.

    Can you perhaps swap that UJ for one of the others in the driveline?

    (The last one I installed, I had to swap the front shaft and the rear shaft sections, the PO had them bass-ackards.)
