Battery relocation?

Ever since I installed my twins I have hated how tight everything is under the hood. I would love to move both of my batteries but if I could move the passenger side that would alleviate a lot of the clutter. I know some have done it but I'm having a hard time finding pics or parts lists.

I live in the middle of no where so making runs to the parts store and back to figure it out isnt really feasible for me so I try to find parts list or kits before I do anything.

Any info or advice is appreciated, and pic are even better.

TIA

I see you live in Georgia, so have you thought about running just one battery? Alot of guys running just one, myself included, with no issues starting. It just takes a little wiring to do it.

Thanks for the thread blacksmoke, I will dig through it asap.

Woolsey, I have thought about it but IF I was going to do that I would want to run a commercial battery and put it in the bed or tool box. I like the insurance of 2 batteries though and would much prefer to keep 2 than to swap to one. My luck, the one time I travel to colder climates I would get stranded because my one battery crapped out.

I'm not sure if he's a member on here or not but Dustin that won 2nd place in 2011 DPC moved all the wiring, batteries and clutter out from his engine bay. It looks freakin insanely awesome! I have no idea where it's all located but I was HIGHLY impressed!!
