Steel Offset Fairlead

[bandit25]

Does anyone have suggestions for a steel offset fairlead for the ARB bumpers?

I'm installing a 12k Badlands winch and will be keeping the original steel cable, so I wouldn't want the fairlead to be aluminum.

I tried installing the original roller fairlead that came with the Badlands but after modifying the bolt holes it wouldn't install flush. The vertical rollers were too big or my bumper is slightly dented, but either way the rollers wouldn't fit inside that overhang that provides the mounting point for the vertical rollers. Assuming it's an issue with the bumper, I don't want to try another roller fairlead and am wanting a Hawse.

Do steel options even exist? I've been searching for a while now and can't find anything. They're all aluminum!

Ahh perfect!

It looks like that one is for up to 5k. There's another one they make, 251152, that is good up to 9k... Is that good enough?

I think someone mentioned the warn 5742 fairlead will work.

I've heard that too, but I think there's an issue with the overhang on my bumper that the vertical rollers mount to, so I'm not wanting a roller fairlead.

I think I'll go with the Ramsey Hawse 251152. It's only rated to the 9K but for how minimally I'll be using my winch, I think that'll be enough.
