Key features

  • Dyneema SK-75 construction, lighter than steel cable
  • Minimal stretch and non-rotational
  • Does not kink, curl or splinter
  • UV stable and heat treated
  • Specially coated to prevent slipping on the winch drum
  • Protective sleeve to prevent overheating

Synthetic rope maintenance

Synthetic line handles differently from steel cable. It is lighter to carry and easier to coil, but it can be damaged by sharp edges, abrasion and heat. Keep it off rough ground when you can, and run it over a smooth fairlead or roller so the fibers are not cut as the rope moves under load.

Good habits extend the life of the rope. Keep the drum clean and free of grit, use the sleeve every time, and check the thimble and hook before each pull. Inspect the full length of the rope, including the section that wraps the drum, because that is where wear tends to build up.

  • Rinse mud and grit off after use and let the rope dry before coiling
  • Check the thimble and hook for cracks or wear before each pull
  • Replace the sleeve if it is torn or no longer stays in place

Vehicle fitment

It is a winch line rather than a part sized for one vehicle, so it is universal fit. Confirm the 4,000 lb line pull is suitable for your winch and vehicle before spooling it on.

Installation notes

Synthetic rope needs a clean drum and the included protective sleeve to avoid heat damage where it contacts the drum. Check the thimble and hook before each use and replace the rope if the fibers are cut or abraded.

Questions & Answers

How long is this synthetic winch rope?

It is 35 feet long and 19/64 inch in diameter, in gray. It is rated at 4,000 lbs line pull, and it comes with a protective sleeve, thimble and safety hook.

What is it made from?

The rope is made from Dyneema SK-75, which Smittybilt describes as lighter and stronger than traditional steel cable. It will not kink, curl or splinter, and it is UV stable and heat treated.

Does the rope come with hardware?

Yes. It includes a stainless steel thimble and a safety hook with connector link, plus a protective sleeve to prevent overheating where the rope meets the drum.

Can synthetic rope replace a steel cable on my winch?

Check that your winch is rated for synthetic line before switching. Synthetic rope needs a clean drum, a protective sleeve and a thimble that fits the hook. Steel cable tolerates abrasion differently, so inspection rules differ.

How do I tell when the rope needs replacing?

Replace the rope if the fibers are cut, abraded, melted or badly frayed, or if the thimble or hook is damaged. Inspect the full length, including the section that wraps the drum.
