Seriously- just so when I choose the difference between a normal 1.0” or go 1.5” off the Factor 5 site, those are the only 2 options.
Heck, I think my Hawse I been “great by” -in my 80 is mebbe a 3/4” plate - might even be 1/2”.
It’s whatever the Slee offset Hawse is, since I have a Warn M12K in a ARB bumper on a -80 series.
What is the point of thicker plate on your Hawse?
- Is this just silly or is there a real reason to jump from 1.0” to a 1.5” Hawse for a fairlead?
My bumper clearance isn’t an issue, so if a thicker fairlead is “smart money” - tell me how.
I’m just wondering if it’s a ‘spread the load & heat’ thing - or we’re talking a pure cosmetic type thing here.
Any synth rope winching experts here who can justify the 1.5” unit over a 1.0” ???
I’m open to learning, I want to run a Flatlink-E on this Tundra/Warn Zeon 10K/Demello bumper.
I own the generic Flatlink on my ~1/2”-5/8” offset Slee Hawse on my 80. It’s been great, but I get how putting the shoe/bell - whatever you locally call the “U” of a shackle - into a winch point, esp since I want to go to Bubba soft shackles so I can take recovery gear to my nautical junk.
I just don’t understand the need to go to a full 1.0” or 1.5” fairlead as Factor 55 has on their site.
-What’s the point of a 1.5” fairlead over a 1.0” one?
- off-camber pulls is all I can see initially, but no other clue.
Edumacate me fellas!! (Or is 1.5” a marketing thing?)
