PARAGON has a little shameless behaviour in the past

You have to spool the rope under tension to set a memory to the wire rope, this makes it easier to spool the next time you use it. Second, you need to make sure the lower wraps are nice and tight. You will not be able to always be on the first wrap when you use your winch the first time, if you were able to do that, stretching wouldn't apply. If you don't think you need to stretch the rope, call Warn, ramsey, or MM.

Paragon, why do I have to be a dumbass, I've been wheeling for 20 years. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Hardly the explanation you gave above when you told them to "stretch" their cable.

I suggest you call Warn, Ramsey or MM. Their winches come pre-spooled with the cables already set, requiring no additional action on the purchaser's part. Only when you spool up a new line should you follow a specific regimen to get the most out of one's winch and winch line.

I'm not sure why you have to be such a dumbass. You also posted that a 9500lb winch will pull a 7000lb truck around all day long. Maybe you forgot to ask Warn, Ramsey or MM about the part where you should try to match your winch at 1.5 times the weight of the vehicle. While the 9.5xp will suffice, it will barely suffice and will be anemic in many situations while trying to pull the H2.

And I've been wheeling for over 20 years.

I don't have to wheel Hummers for a living, I do it for the fun of it.
