I did my battery a little differently than most people so that I could run a front dig setup. Details and pictures are on my website (click the link in my sig)




As far as weights, I use Great Planes stick on lead weights in the wheels and on the axle.

I had my chassis flipped, but put it back stock since my WK is more of a basher than a crawler. When I do go crawling, I zip-tie a coil spring for a CB antenna to the front bumper.

It's heavy but still stays out of sight and balances the truck nicely, even with the battery in the stock location.
