I'm locating mine between the frame rails boxed in on the crossmember just behind the rear axle. Why? To help with weight transfer to plant the 30 x 14" slicks. It's a racing mod relocating 50+ pounds where it can lower the CG and help plant the rear end at launch. Here's the kit I'm using and pay close attention to the use of a Ford style remote starter solenoid. This keeps the starter wire dead until you energize it at start up. (It's a safety mod!) Use the frame for ground. This mod also allows you to install the required emergency power cut off switch at the rear of the vehicle closer to the battery. Read this...
