Battery relocation?
Does any one know it it is possible to mount the battery where the air cleaner box is? Thinking of moving my BHAF down closer to the front end to get more and cooler air.

Yes, it is possible. You'll most likely need some longer battery cables as well.

I am relocating mine in a custom mount under the passengers side of the bed.

you only need 1 battery so why not just take it out. and jegs or summit racing has cheap heavy duty battery cable and terminals.
