What is the difference between a hawse and a roller fairlead?
A hawse fairlead is a smooth guide, used with synthetic rope, and a roller fairlead has rollers for steel cable. Using the wrong type can wear the line.

Not always. Match the mounting pattern to your winch and bumper. The listing gives the details.
What does fairlead thickness mean?
It is the thickness of the plate, with 1.0 inch and 1.5 inch options in the collection. Choose the one that fits your bumper opening.
Do I need a license plate mount for the fairlead?
It is optional, for people who want to keep the plate on the front when a bumper has no plate spot.
Is there a fairlead bracket for a Jeep YJ, TJ or LJ?
Yes, a front bumper fairlead bracket covers 1987 to 2006 Wrangler YJ, TJ and LJ.
