Front bumper and winch for 2-dr?

Next 2 things on my to do list are front bumper and winch. Pretty much decided on LOD Destroyer stubby front bumper. Looking at Warn VR or Zeon winch. Is an 8,000 lb winch good for a 2-dr? I see that the Zeon 10-S is popular. IIRC Warn says 1.5x GVWR for winch sizing. Open to any thoughts/suggestions, Thanks.

I run a Zeon 8s on my WJ which weighs about 6000lbs fully loaded. I've used it several times with no issues including uphill pulls in snow and mud. If your budget allows for a 10, do it. But I imagine an 8 would work just fine.

I have an 8k on my two door JK and it works fine.
