I'm getting the HDJ 2000's but i don't like coiled cable and i cant seem to find a 4ft mini xlr to 1/8 inch cable. Any suggestions? should i make one? if so where do i get the stuff? I'm new to this so sorry

Easy to make. Markertek and others carry the materials if you are in the US. With Neutrik or Switchcraft connectors, and mogami cable, you can put together an 8 ft cable for $15.

I've looked around the Marketek website and found a lot of stuff. what specific connectors and cable do you recommend?
 
Is this mini xlr connector ok?

I have no idea which cable would be best either
 
Sorry I'm such a noob at this

That switchcraft mini-xlr should be just fine. I like mogami 2893, just double up two of them for the ground.

that cable looks a bit thick. Would this 3.5 mm jack work

It is a bit thick, but very flexible. It fits fine into the mini-xlr you linked above. You can also strip off the rubber insulation on the outside, and cover it with paracord, making it even more light and flexible.
 
That Rean/Neutrik would work, but I prefer the Switchcraft ones: http://www.markertek.com/Connectors-Adapters/Audio-Connectors/3-5-2-5mm-Mini-Connectors/Switchcraft-Corporation/35HDBAU.xhtml
