if i was to do it over, i might try to figure out how to mount the tank under the bottom rail with a one inch spacer...to create more downward angle for the filler... not really sure if that effort would pay off tho. the leaf spring mounts were in the way on the bottom of the frame, and i also knew i didnt want to see the tank under the rear bumper from the back. at the end of the day i like the way i have it mounted because the edge of the gas tank is supporting the tank all the way around and im able to fill the gas tank , just have to fill it slowly.
Thank you Frank for your response and craftsmanship !!
