Guys with Optimas have some ?????s
I am looking into Optimas and wondering what model you have in your trucks. Do they fit like factory and are they held in with the factory retainer? And if you have offroad lights and or winches how do they hold up for ya????
I have looked on optimas site and found a couple that may work but need to know for sure. I am mainly going after this battery for a side and top post feature.
Thanks in advance

i got a 8004-003 just over a week ago, and i love it. nice smooth quick cranking, and lots of run time without the truck running. i had to use the side post for the positive because it was to short with a bodylift, and the battery was a lil bit shorter than the optima.
cant wait to see how it holds up to a winch.

It's like 6549876927987 times better than the one I had. I got one from Advance, it was their top of the line battery & Optima one is by far the winner of the 2.

What's your budget and intended use?
Both RT and YT can handle a bunc hof accessories. The difference is that yellow tops are deep cycle batteries and the reason they are popular amongst car show veterans has less to do with the amount of accessories and the fact that they can be drained till dead repeatedly and always come back, red tops cannot, red tops are starting batteries.
I can't see why you would need a yellow top, but if you really wanna drop the $200 go for it it wont hurt anything.
there are a few different models you can use, let me know if you want dual terminals and if you want yellow or red top or if you are feeling frisky...a blue top

ive got this one
costco special it was $80 its smaller than the standard red tops but still has 650 CCA and has been fine running my daylighters and stereo even with my destroyed alternator. also it instals just like a stock battery and has never moved offroad.
