    The big 3 is nothing more than 4ga amp power wire.
    All your doing is replacing:
    1) Battery negative to chassis
    2) Alternator to battery positive
    3) Chassis to engine

    Some people dont "replace" them but add them to the existing wires.

    You can do either. I replace them. Less clutter.

    Agreed, I am not sure what the shop I am using will do but I know they will make it clean. I need a freakin dual battery tray! The place hasnt answered all day, I sent another email.

    should take longer to take off the wires and put the new ones on than actually make them.

    I've done a couple of trucks and I take the stock ones off to make the new ones the same length. I don't bother putting the old wires back on because the whole reason your going through the trouble is to replace the stock ones...
