[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 8766750, member: 634282"] Measure LxWxH at the max H to be more specific to make sure if you have Top post that you have clearance from the hood when closed. Go to Orileys and see what Super Start AGM will fit with your measurements. Its a good battery and has a decent warranty and easy to swapp due to several Chain locations if need warranty applied.Get the highest CCA, and CA with at least RES of 120. Two would be ideal for the future amperage needed with the big 3 installed and the second battery with that new Alt. Should keep up with what you have. Might even look at a Duralast AGM. I have one in my 2500 HD and about to add another soon for a 5k watt Inverter and have power for my Liftgate. 1000 CA and like 800 CCA with 120 RES, One is holding up so far. Ijust dont like the Plastic body around the Top post version of which I have. Hard to get a dcent Batt Post on it for additions. Ill have to buy or make for Lug connections for this set of batteries. One is holding up just fine and holding @14.2v with A/C on full tilt and @idle is around 14.4/14.3 [/QUOTE]
