    These are pretty popular for winch disconnects.

    Nice job man!

    Lot's of choices. You are more interested in amp rating than voltage rating.

    350 is a bit light. XRC8 amp draw at full 8000lb pull is around 400+ amps, and that is all related to proper wire gauge and length as well. I'd go minimum 500 amp. Out the rear because of the extended length of the cable, you'll want an even higher rating, but 500 should be close.
