Battery relocation

I'm thinking about moving one my batteries ( or both) to the underside of my truck. The batteries are AGM's so I can mount then in any position even upside down. I have some plans for under the hood and need the room. I will be using a battery cut off switch and a engine bay/underhood position for "jumping". I also have plenty of 4/0 welding cable.

Helpful advise or install pictures would be appreciated.

Dave, this thread discusses both an aftermarket battery box that mounts to the frame as well as an OEM from the vans.

Oh no! Don't get it on meth, the paint will get blotchy and parts of the grille mesh will fall out.
