I hope it's not too late, but with the limited availability of power wire, I would run both runs positive from front to back. BECAUSE, assuming you properly ground the rear batteries to the frame of the vehicle, it is better than running it all the way up front. With out a doubt, better. Not as easy, but better. There would be less resistance on the ground this way, and more current making its way back. Also, big 3.

That's what I would do. Just ground it where alot of joints meet, and sand it down good
