I mounted Optima 6 Volts on each side of the vehicle outside the frame just behind the cab. I modified Optima 6V sized brackets from Speedway. They are connected in series with 1/0 cable with a master shut off in the cab and power terminals on the firewall.

Pricey, but the set-up works great and the batteries last years between replacement.

I used a frame mounted drop down battery box from CPP. Easy install and looks good. (polished stainless)
