We really can't specify a cable from here. We simply do not have all of the information needed, and we do not offer engineering services. Having said that, the normal holding strength of this anchor is 11,000 lbs, which means that 3/8" Galvanized Cable should be sufficient. If you want to step up to something more robust, that will stretch a little less, you could consider 1/2" Galvanized Cable, or even 1/2" 1x7 EHS. One thing to keep in mind is that EHS cable is very stiff and generally requires termination using Big-Grip or Tree-Grip dead ends. If you use regular 7x19 or 6x19 cable, you can terminate it much easier using regular cable clamps, thimbles, etc. You will likely want to incorporate an inline turnbuckle with your setup too so that you can take up slack as needed (the cables will loosen a little over time).
