Not sure what brand to recommend & I hear that there are only a few batt mfr's & the brands are just marketing. If a trunk mounted app a heavier one over the left side of the axle would give better traction live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I believe the Group 27 batteries are what is in diesel trucks, of course there are two of them. They are shorter yet wider I believe. The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!
