Re: battery location (stepside)
I would suggest somewhere besides behind the seat because of fumes.If you do go behind the seat make sure you use a battery box that has provisions for venting.Maybe a better solution would be a battery box with cover built into the bed floor.

Re: battery location (stepside)
If you put it behind the seat...your battery better be an Optima!

Re: battery location (stepside)
Hey, I bought a frame mount kit from cpp to hold an optima battery and mounted it to the frame under the bed in front of the passenger side rear wheel. I actually got 2 to help support the stereo.
