I used the quad shock bolt, make sure the gauge of the wire is huge to avoid having any issues

+2 on having the guage being vary large to avoid any issues. Also, what kind of alternator do you have, because i would recommend a higher amp alt if your relocating the battery to the trunk.

I used the rear frame, make sure you sand it to bare metal

i also used the rear frame where the exhaust hanger was (i have dumps) and just took the bolt out and wire brushed all around it and put the bolt back in but it shouldnt matter if you have dumps if you put it behind the hanger

I ran the heavy wire right to the body where the spare tire used to be and scuff the body down to the metal and then ran another heavy ground from the block to the body..worked great
