It's all good, that's what forums are for.

I used my winch to lift my plow as well. I saw no issues with using it. I think the rock guard was protecting my line. It still looks brand new.

You don't need special snatch blocks you can use your old ones as long as they don't have any wear marks from steel cable. If they do then you need to sand and polish then. Sane thing for your rollers on your fairlead and your winch drum. They have to be smooth otherwise they will cut your line.

That's the only thing you need to worry about is a cut line. The advantage of synthetic line is that you can repair it on the trail in ten minutes if you need to. Can't do that with steel cable.

It's the right way to go if you need a new line. It's just plain safer winching with a synthetic line.
