Please clarify. I have a factory installed 4 foot straight cable break away and a set of 28 incheach chains on my Geo Pro 2020 19FD. I want to replace the straight break away cable with a coiled cable. Please advise what cable I should purchase. Thank you.

Since you have a 4' breakaway cable any 4' coiled cable can be used. You can use the Fastway # FA80-01-2204, which will come with the plunger as well or the Fastway # FA80-01-2140 if you're plunger is still is good shape, you'll just hook the split ring on the cable end through the hole on the back of the plunger to connect the two together and the carabiner can be attached to the tow loops on your hitch when towing.

I've attached videos below for both of these cables to show you how they would be installed/used.
