Unsure really...... but I'm sure room could be made if required.
Just wondering if it would damage anything is all. The usual banter.... Is it worth it? Is it going to lead to other mods involved with the wires? Yada yad yada. Thanks for the quick reply.

Nope its not goin to hurt anything I usually try to put the biggest battery I can fit in my vehicles. Its getting it to fit that you'll run into problems. Your just goin more cranking amps to start and in cold weather is where you'll notice a difference.
