I used the drivers side plug for the ground wire, it goes into that plug and wraps up and around the frame rail and is bolted to the frame rail with one of the quad shock mounting bolts.<br /><br />The main power line (1/0 awg switch to starter) and the alternator feed (8 awg alternator to switch on same side as the battery 1/0 + line) I ran through the passenger side plug in the trunk. <br /><br />Have never had a starting or electrical issue with my setup. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
