could i get away with adding a battery cause i really dont wanna buy a new alt or do the big three....

One way or another you need to do the Big 3 to handle the extra current load. The only time this may present a problem for you after that will be at night when the alternator will be at full load. Once you've done the big three a appropriate sized Capacitor or second battery will help.
