Default Battery Relocation... Pic inside

Would this be the best setup to relocate the battery to the rear??? Opinions and suggestions would be great!

i would go with a 2 on the alternator. i only say that because i was running a 4 and was having slight charging issues myself. the way you have it run it legit though as far as the cutoff.

Always install the + side cable into a heater hose for safety.

I would run 1/0 from the alternator to the disconnect also, since it's a long run to the battery.
Also, fuse the Positive cable going to the starter, and coming from the alternator.
