After being at billing land rover festival and being in a 1hr winching seminar....steel cable is not a good idea.
Proper synth cable is stronger and safer. Also dont get a roller guide as they pinch. And make sure you get a compatible bumper to suit it.
Make sure the cables are also long enough to go direct to battery, inc the earth.
That one you have linked to seems to have all the right stuff...but 13000lb is WAY over the top.
Thats 13000lb vertical lift....you'll never need that. Plus it will be very slow. Between 7/8k lb will be plenty unless you're pulling trucks vertically up a cliff?!
Also worth getting a block and tackle
also dont see a tree strap/wrap in that kit which is a mega must for winching!
