It is my understanding it is not the lenght of the pull that heats up the rope it is when you use the brake (winching up hill and stop and the winch holds you) at least that is what my research found.

Also, I am running mine in a lod midwidth too. The mounting holes are slightly different from warn so I had to spec this winch when I ordered the bumper, or you need drill a few holes yourself if you already have the bumper.

Here's the best pic I have right now:


For sure, I love my Superwinch!

I went to 4wd.com and got an XRC 12,000lb w/cable for less than $500 and a life time no questions asked warranty for the winch for an extra $60.......winch is so powerful it pulled my jeep & my buddy's 1973 Ford f250 w/ 44" pitbulls trying to pull a car out of the snow in the mountains!
