Just finished the battery relocation and now the starter is dragging a bit. And the dash lights get more dimmed when I crank the starter.

Battery is almost a year old and its Walmart brand.

2 gauge wire from the trunk, two 4 gauge ground wires. one ground to the body in the trunk, the other one goes in the engine bay and its bolted to the trans.

Where should I upgrade? Ground wires or battery? I have 2 gauge ground wire that im not using and i think I will use it tomorrow and for trunk ground

Any advice will be appreciated it!!
 
Try using one short 2 gauge ground in the trunk and see if that helps. If you didn't have the problem before the relocation then I would think that your problem lies somewhere in the wiring since that is all you've changed.
 
^Thanks, will do that.

Forgot to mention, I also have 200A ANL fuse and 250A circuit breaker right after the battery
