    Mine too, the battery is too heavy. Want to relocate it to the bed but I don't know how to wire it. Don't know if just have to run it to the alternator and to the frame and wire the fuse panel and the aux fuse panel to the alternator? or do I have to wire it from the bed to the fuse panels?

    Any videos of the links in action? I am planning a link set up, leafs are not working for me. :smash:



    You may want to relocate your battery to the bed, it made the front of my truck ride noticeably smoother and less harsh at bump. Having the battery out in the front of your engine bay is equivalent to about 100 extra pounds out over the front of your truck. :thumbsup:

    EDIT
    I should have read the previous comments lol wiring the battery is easy and only takes an hour or two. You'll need 25 feet of 0 gauge welding cable, some terminals and a drill.. and a battery box.

    There are good threads explaining it too!

    Looks so smooth even at bump through those big ones. Leaf springs would not handle that lol Any plans for the secondary rear shock?

    Ive posted some videos in action some pages back, your truck would be sick linked! Need to relocate the battery baaad my firewall is all destroyed :( Could you take some pics on how you wired yours planning on doing it myself just need to buy a good crimpter. Thinking on mounting it under the spare.

    Yea its very smooth need more compression on the coilovers. Planning to get some 3.0 king bypasses, already have the mounts and everything ready to bolt them on. The rear out performs front actually so still no real need for bypass but lets see what happens with dtf kit :D

    I'll snap a few pictures of how I went about it, it's a lot simpler than you would guess and you can make it as clean as you want depending on time/holes you wanna drill.
    My core support started to crack a little and has stopped since the battery was relocated.

    A bypass would make it less springy and you won't bounce around, it had the same effect when I put one up front in my truck, night and day ride quality gains.

    A 3.0 would be Awesomeee :drool: that's exactly what I want when I end up going the link route. You'll need a little more from the rear after Anthony's kit, I've ridden shotgun in his truck and it handles big shiz no problem haha

    Id love to see more pics/info about the gas tank relocation. I am having to consider moving the tank or just getting a fuel cell. pros and cons are obviously safer, and more fuel capacity with a cell but more cost too, also kinda scared to deal with the fuel pump and fuel system.
