Question:
I am looking for a wiring kit for my winch. It is a 8000lb winch that is mounted to a trailer but the trailer rolls back texas rollback trailer and actually is about 10 from the back of my truck so the connector coming from my winch will have to be 10 long and then the connect from the back of my truck to the battery in the truck will have to be aprox 25 long, do you have anything like this as I see kits that show only a 3 long wire for a attaching to the winch. thanks

The best option we have would be the Trailer and Vehicle Electric Winch Wiring Kit, # BDW20207. What you can do is get some extra 2 AWG wiring and use Superwinch Quick Connects, 2-4 AWG Wire, # BDW20133, for easy connect/disconnect, to reach the 10 foot distance you need. The wiring in the kit is all 2 AWG. I have also included a link to our FAQ article on wiring an electric winch for reference.
