IUf your stock hold down is in good shape, it is better off than many hold downs. (assumijng the correct size battery is installed)
Slide one side of the battery base under a lip that won't move, then clamp down the other side of the base with a 3/8 inch bolt.
When my first truck got totalled, (front passenger side direct hit) the battery stayed in the tray. She was going an estimated 60 MPH when she hit me.
