Well I broke my winch cable monday. So I am upgrading to Synthetic Line. http://www.4wheelparts.com/Winches-Winch-Accessories/Amsteel-Blue-Synthetic-Winch-line-with-Stainless-Steel-Thimble-Eye.aspx?t_c=18&t_s=124&t_pt=5329&t_pl=9697&t_pn=GRT4WDO38100S

Will I need to modify my ARB bumper for the Hawse Fairlead? And which one should I get?

I had to drill 2 holes to mount my fairlead. The bolts fit fine with no modification to the winch mount on my winch but i know some have had to add spacers to move their winch farther away to allow space for the bolts. However, i have seen some hawse fairleads on the internet that have the bolt holes offset so you can mount it from the winch bolts. There are also roller fairleads that will mount from the winch bolts that are made for synthetic rope.

The other thing i should add is that on mine i threaded the bolt holes in the bumper and just used that instead of nuts. I could have used nuts as i had enough space but didn't bother since the thickness of the bumper and plate is enough. So you could just get some shorter bolts and thread your bumper if your winch is in the way.
