I called my contact at Superwinch and asked about changing the steel cable on your 4500 series winch to a synthetic rope. My contact said it can be done if the winch you have is the Terra Series but it cannot be done if the winch you have is the S series winch.

If you have the Terra series winch like part # SW1145220, the replacement rope I recommend is part # BDW20185. This rope measures 4.8mm x 50-ft and has a capacity of 3,500-lbs.
