Overview
The Smittybilt Roller Fairlead, part number 97281-47, guides wire rope onto the winch drum and reduces friction and wear on the cable.
It mounts directly to standard winch mounting plates and works with all standard winch plates. Smittybilt describes it as easy to install.
The roller protects the rope during high angle pulls, when the cable runs steeply across the fairlead and wears faster than on a straight pull.
This is a recovery accessory rather than a vehicle part, so it is not tied to a vehicle year or model.
