    Absolutely love the quality of the cables themselves. Unfortunately the battery terminals they send you are not actually military style terminals. The passenger side where all 3 cables need to meet up for the positive side is way too crowded and terminal cover barely fits. I’m not bashing anyone I’m just letting future installers know the flaws I ran into. Most of the cables were also very long and they didn’t necessarily need to be. This kit is not very easy to install. Other than that my truck starts phenomenal now and I hope it stays that way for years to come. I would definitely buy again.

      Hi there,

      Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and honest review – this kind of real-world feedback is incredibly valuable to both us and future customers.

      We’re thrilled to hear the truck is cranking stronger than ever and that overall you feel the upgrade was worth it (and would even buy again – that means a lot!).

      We completely understand your points about the positive-side crowding and the terminal covers being a tight fit. You’re right that the terminals we include are not true “military-spec” terminals but they are close. we 100% get that stacking three cables on one post can feel crowded. I usually recommend that customers put 2 on one side of the terminal and 1 on the other. I’ll check on adding some instructions.

      On cable length: we do intentionally cut them a little long (2-3 inches) thinking it would help people route the cables. That said, your feedback about certain runs being excessively long is noted – I’ll investigate further and tweak the kit if needed.
      Again, really appreciate you pointing these things out constructively instead of just venting – it helps everyone. If you ever feel like snapping a quick photo of how you ended up routing everything or have any other tips from your install, feel free to shoot them over. Happy to send you a little “thank you” care package for the help.

      Enjoy the rock-solid starts, and thanks again for choosing our kit!

      Best regards,
