Re: batery cable
To the battery should be at least 4 gauge. To the rest of the system should be fine with around 8 gauge.
Here are a bunch of charts for DC amps vs cable size. https://www.google.com/search?safe=a...jQEZV0HEdeXgM:

Re: batery cable
Harbor frieght has a nice set of cables that I think are 6'. I make my bigger cables out of welding lead for golf carts and such but when I added the winch to my ramp truck I bought the Harbor Frieght cables.
