The safety cables like the part # BX88207 are designed for securing between the tow vehicle and the base plate kit in the event the connection between the base plate and the vehicle fails. These are 36 inches long and are a common length that works well. I'd be willing to bet this would easily work for you but basically it's the distance from where the base plate kit attaches to the frame hole nearest so you might just check out your vehicle and see what distance would be ideal.
