Smittybilt Universal Winch Damper

When you’re ready to run a winch and trust your line to the elements, don’t leave your safety to chance. The Smittybilt Universal Winch Damper is a smart, simple upgrade that helps reduce risk during recovery operations — built for any winch, any rig, anytime.

  • 🧱 Durable Vinyl Construction – Made from tough material built to stand up to use, abuse and the elements.
  • 🔦 Sewn‑In Reflective Strip – Improves visibility under low‑light conditions so your damper doesn’t become invisible in an emergency.

Fitment Highlight

This damper is fully universal — compatible with any vehicle or winch setup. No vehicle‑specific restrictions; simply wrap it along your winch line or place it over the cable during use.

Why It Matters

When a winch line fails or snaps, the recoil becomes a serious hazard. This damper takes the edge off by adding mass and stability over the line. It helps divert energy, protect nearby people or gear, and gives you one more layer of safety while working your recovery gear. Whether you’re trail‑blazing, vehicle‑recovering, or prepping for overland excursions, this small piece makes a big difference in safety.
