Just do a 3g upgrade. Are you running a lot of extra electrical accessories?

Not right now but plans for the truck are
1) quad battery setup
2)1500 watt power inverter
3) truck rolling down the road has has 19 different parking lights plus headlights plus whatever lights I add
4) truck will have a total of 12 130 watt kc daylighters
5) wanting a 1000 watt amp with the DVD playing stereo with 2 external monitors in backseat (for the kids)
6) will have a 12,000 pound warn winch (eventually)
7) will have a 12volt air compressor for around 8-10 gallon tank for air horns and air hose (just in case I get a flat)
Plus I have another alternator laying around anyway that's why I'm considering it!

Just throw a miller bobcat in the back, then when a light bracket breaks, you can also weld it back up.
