You're right, we'll have the whole front off the truck.Fucking V8 swap.
Yes. And the whole front off @Subway4x4 's too.As opposed to having the whole back off your truck? JOY!
A little pricey but with the hold down kit, and space/weight savings it seems like a very worthwhile upgrade. Kinda makes me wish I went with a smaller battery when I moved mine to the cargo area.Alright, I figured this might be as good of a place for this 'tidbit' as any other. Typically, and as referenced above, there are a lot of electrical recommendations when one major component is touched. As we all know one ugrade seems to have a trickle-down effect too.
SO, if you are looking for either a dual battery or some other reason to have a second battery then I'd like to offer up a product for consideration - because its f'n small and powerful. The Odyssey PC925 and I would buy it at FCP Euro if it were me (they have a lifetime replacement policy, even on consumables... as long as they are in business) https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/automotive-battery-powersport-kit-odyssey-pc925mj#qa
I have the bigger brother to this battery in my WK2 Diesel and its a beast. Will eventually replace my T4R with the same brand. I like this little guy as a secondary because we don't have a lot of room in our trucks (3rd Gen) for a dual setup but this takes no space (~7"x7"x5") and it comes with a hell of a hold-down kit.
No personal experience with the little guy mentioned, YMMV.

If you're going to do a multi-battery setup, for the sake of all the gods and little fishes, move the fuckers out of the engine bay.
I can't think of a weaker point on the truck to mount a battery than where it is from the factory. The older trucks can move them to the passengers rear corner of the engine bay, which is much better, but still sucks.
Put them behind the rear seats, in the bed, anything.
you would cringe at how my house battery is set up, but currently no cracks or bending and I've done some stupid shit over the past 3 years that involved catching unintentional air.
On my 3rd gen, my battery basically fell through the fender well. The entire fender well almost fell out but a couple spot welds and the frame caught it.T4R seem to have fewer problems, my buddy has almost no cracking issues, doing the same dumb shit I do and ripped mine to shreds.
