4 awg set. Comes with a 150 amp ANL fuse and holder
$115 shipped.
Ideal for 96-01 because of the lengths but I'm sure it could fit older years (I had no chance to find one and do measurements)

I purchased a set and am very happy with the quality of the cables, but I went to install them today and now have a couple questions. This is the first time I've replaced a set of cables on any vehicle, so I apologize if my questions are remedial:
1. The set came with 6 cables: 3 Red, 3 Black - But I can only find 4 cables under the hood to replace: 2 Red, 2 black. Can you help me find the other 2 cables?
2. It appears that the connectors are wrong for the ends that connect to the fuse block. In order to work with the cover that goes over these, the factory connections are large, L shaped fittings. Can I bend yours to fit without damaging the connection? Or is there some mod that I need to do to make it work right.
Any help or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

There's 6 wires
Battery positive to starter
Battery positive to fuse block
Fuse block to alternator
Engine block to firewall
Engine block to battery negative
Battery negative to fender. Hope that help

That's a big help. Modifying the cover should be no big deal. And it was the 'Fuse Block to Alternator' and 'Engine Block to Firewall' cables that I was overlooking.
Thanks for the fast response
