Fairlead Question
I recently got the Poison Spyder Brawler Lite and a Warn M8000. I am no fan of having the giant roller fairlead hanging off the front. Can a Hawse Fairlead be used with steel line? Or can you only use synthetic line with that fairlead?

Yes you can use a hawse fairlead on wire rope. If you ever change to synthetic line though you will have to replace the fairlead as the wire is abrasive and will score the finish, which could cause small cuta in the rope which could lead to failure
