Warn Roller Fairlead is designed for customers who need a durable fairlead for compatible WARN wire rope winch systems. This roller-style fairlead helps guide steel winch cable through the bumper, winch tray, or recovery mount opening while reducing wear during angled pulls. It is a practical replacement or service part for trucks, SUVs, Jeeps, 4x4 vehicles, ATVs, UTVs, commercial vehicles, and recovery-ready builds equipped with compatible WARN winches.
A roller fairlead is an important part of a steel cable winch setup. The rollers help guide the wire rope as it spools in and out, reducing friction and helping the cable feed more evenly onto the drum. This is especially helpful during off-center or severe-angle pulls where the cable may contact the fairlead harder than it would during a straight pull.
WARN roller fairleads use a four-roller design for wire rope winches. The upper, lower, and side rollers help support cable movement across the fairlead opening while reducing sharp contact points. This design helps protect the cable, supports smoother retrieval, and helps maintain more controlled winch operation during recovery work.
The WARN Replacement Roller Fairlead for truck winches is built for winches over 4,000 lbs. in capacity on confirmed applications, excluding M15 and 16.5ti winches. The zinc-plated finish helps resist corrosion and outdoor exposure, making it a good match for trucks and SUVs that see mud, snow, rain, road grime, trail dust, and regular recovery use.
This product is intended for compatible wire rope or steel cable winch applications. Steel cable and synthetic rope require different fairlead considerations, and customers should not use a steel-cable roller fairlead with synthetic rope unless the selected setup is specifically approved for that use. Customers running synthetic rope should use a smooth hawse fairlead or fairlead approved for synthetic rope.
WARN offers multiple roller fairlead configurations for truck, powersports, utility, commercial, and industrial winches. This allows customers to choose the correct roller fairlead based on winch model, drum width, cable size, winch capacity, and mounting requirements. Fitment should always be confirmed before ordering or installation.
Whether customers are replacing a worn fairlead, restoring a WARN winch, upgrading a steel cable recovery setup, or servicing trail and work-ready equipment, Warn Roller Fairlead delivers genuine WARN quality, smooth cable guidance, and dependable recovery system support. Now Available at LEER!
