Hold on, I am heading out the door right now the the camera I'm gonna get some pics of another tower I setup that is all COAX and I think you'll be drooling when you see it.

LMR-400 is the minimum cable size for that on 2.4GHz. You will need an amp. At 5GHz, I would expect LMR-600 or better. However, at 5GHz, I think I would go with tower top radios. I doubt that you will get good results at 5GHz with that kind of cable run. RG8 cable is useless for anything we do as wisps.
