Im thinking it will, but want your thoughts.

I think it will to bud I'm not 100% so someone else tell him for sure

Im thinking it will also, looks like plenty of room on there.

Usually, because synthetic is more giving in the way it packs on the drum, you can up size when you go from wire to synthetic.

I went from stock 100' of 5/16's on my XP to 100' of 3/8's Amsteel. It fit, but on side pulls, it would bunch and overload.

I cut off 15 feet and it is much more forgiving on akward pulls.

I went with 90' of 3/8 winchline to replace my 100' of 5/16 of steel cable. my reasoning was the same as above, in case of side loading, ill have the room to spare. Another option would be to get the 100', then cut 20' off and put loops on the ends of the extra 20' section for an extension if you ever need it.

FWIW...according to the Masterpull website ( http://www.masterpull.com/results.cfm?catid=959 ) your 9.5ti should be able to hold 125' of 5/16". I don't know if they take into account any issues with the side-pull bunching some were talking about.
