If it was me, I'd get rid of the solenoid pack totally and replace it with an Albright contactor, more reliable and better duty cycle.

TG Thompson, as suggested above is a good economical option with a good reputation.

I bought one from Roadrunneroffroad4x4 on eBay a few months ago and have not had any issues.

My vote is for one of these as well with extended cables into the engine bay up high
