    I meant "will the stock fuel tank clear the new crossmember he put in ahead of the rear axle?"

    I pulled my fuel tank out two weeks ago to make the sender work again and could barely fit my head between the axle and the tank while undoing the tank straps.

    Iam not trying to pick on the work. I like the solution to the spare problem and will proably copy it in some for or other. Great work and looks good.

    fisherman
    that was an excellent post, thanks.

    idea:
    i'd imagine if you were using a tire that had a softer sidewall when deflated, you could leave that tube there. you would just compress that edge of the tire when it came into contact with the tube. of course, you would have on-board air to fill the spare. this is where mine is going after i reroute exhaust.

    who am i kidding? i have 10 other more important items to do.

    The crossmember is above the rear axle, and if fully loaded there will be about 2 inches between crossmember and top of pumpkin when sitting on the bumpstops. I don't believe I will ever haul anything to put her to the bumpstops. Also I could mount a bumpstop on the crossmember to contact the top of the differentia. As far as all my measurements the stock gas tank should clear fine.

    Barrman, man you got me all worried, went back out and measured again today, between 6 and 7 inches between crossmember and rear of gas tank. I know I meaured everything at least 4 times on 3 different days. Still quite a abit of work left to do before the cab and bed go on. It'l be a couple months.

    It looks even better in person! I will DEFINITELY do that to mine when I have the bed off.

    And there's no way that axle won't clear it. Even if both bumpstops mashed up to the metal, there'd still be a good inch. You're set, man.....

    You'll do it Tim? Or you'll have Fisherman do it? Man I need to move to the left coast so Fisherman can paint my schtuff!

    BTW Tim, your truck is looking way cool.

    Nice mod Fisherman!
