X 3 I use my for winching, my York OBA, and since I have a 6 speed it sometimes comes in handy when I need one foot on the clutch, brake, and gas

You can get the same thing as the Teraflex kit for cheaper:

Then buy the rest of the small parts from your local bike shop. They'll even sell you shift cable housing by the foot.

Six feet sounds safe. Buy more than you need and cut to fit. Use shifter cable and housing rather than brake cable and housing. Two different things. The housing ends need to be ground clean at the cut.
Dumb question: are these levers spring loaded, or does it stay at a specific speed if you take your hand off?
(I'm not sure if I'm phrasing that correctly.)

Not spring loaded. The lever throttle kits you buy should all be using friction shifters. They will hold their position.
If you make your own, some bike lever shifters are indexed with clicks for each gear. You don't want that kind for this purpose.
I think it was about 6'. I bought cable from walmart and needed every bit of cable and casing from the longest set in the package.
It is. The fun part of that because this is no different than holding the throttle body open with your finger, if you set the throttle for a certain speed on an uphill the Jeep will suddenly accelerate on the downside.
And there is no reason the lever doesn't also do it's thing on the highway.
There is a tension knob so it can be either. It can stay where you leave it if you have the tension tight or the throttle body return spring will pull it if you have the adjustable tension light. I always leave mine light in case of accidental bump but can tighten the tension for it to stay where I leave it if desired.
