Hello everyone, I have a line on a Warn Winch M8000. Looking for length of synthetic rope that fits the spool. Also thickness of rope needed. Come from the SxS world so completely new to all the larger winch specs. Second question would be is 8000lb winch enough for a JK 2 door. I know bigger is better but will this be sufficient?

 

I have a 2010 JK 2 door with a Warn 8000 that I recently switched to synthetic line. It came with 100' of steel line. I replaced it with the 80' Badlands 12,000 lb. rope from Harbor Freight, and it filled it up all the way.
The JK weighs 5,000 lbs. so I've never had any problems winching. My synthetic soft shackles are rated at 9,600 lbs., so a 12,000 lb. winch could possibly break them. I want all of the accessories to have a greater rating than the winch because I would rather have the winch bog down than have something break down the line while winching.
