Okay, reposting this in the right location. I installed Jimmi Jammers and killed off the driver's door lock. Figured it would be a good idea to have a way to jump the battery if it died and I couldn't unlock the doors. I installed a remote battery terminal just behind and under the passenger bumper. Got the part and the 4 foot battery cables off Amazon. took about 2 hours including removing the wheel and liner. Very happy with the result, looks very stock.

added two 4 foot battery cables that I ran from the battery back behind the headlight and down to the mounting location

The terminal is mounted just behind the passenger side of the front bumper.

here is a shot showing it's mounting location.

The mounting plate fit just perfect on the horizontal spar, just had to drill 3 holes for it.

using the measurement I described (fender flare to top of stock tire) on a 2019/2020

- stock 7.25" (measured on three trucks at the dealer lot)
- mine at 3/8" on the preload collars - 8" or 0.75" lift from stock
- mine at 3/4" on the preload collars - 8.75" or 1.5" lift from stock
- I believe 0" preload on collars for 3.0 live valves is the same as stock (i.e. 7.25"). This is mathematically verified by the 2 to 1 lift ratio I have with the collar adjustments I've had on the 3.0s. I must admit I never installed the 3.0s at that setting on my truck though.

due to the articulation of the suspension, there is about 0.75-1" of up travel beyond the fender flare at full tuck.

as I recall, full droop was just over 12" to the same point. Again, the math works out to 13" total travel given travel past the fender.

if you're running 2" of lift (1" on the collars), then you should have about 9.25" to the fender from the stock tires. That means there is actually 10-10.25" of up travel given the extra 0.75-1.0" past the fender liner. Given that math that leaves only 2.75-3.0" of droop travel.

check out HM Suspension's kit as a reference point - they run 50-50 up to droop travel (8" and 8").

hope this helps (and sorry to hijack this thread)
