Haha, maybe. But mine's worse!

I only said that because I've heard that it's possible to stress the pumpkin and cause minor leaks by jacking it from the center like that. Never seen it done, just have heard stories...

Epic very cool! You wanna help me install mine? Did the ground clearance decrease any? How about a skid plate?

Honestly, I've always wondered about that. Obviously Ford wouldn't have spent the time putting ink to paper if it wasn't important. Guess it's just a mentality that it won't happen to me. Maybe the rubber in the jack distributes the load a little bit?

I'm sure it will be similar. This is really easy, truly only a double Diet Dew job.

Come on up to Utah! Bet we could do it in 70 minutes! Didn't think to measure before and after but it hangs down a good 3 - 4 inches or so. Skid plate is on it. It's just another layer of plastic really. Wraps up and around the tank about 3 inches.

It would be a major mod. You'd have to extend the vertical members that attach to the truck and probably bend them to fit around the larger tank anyway. And it's too short, it would only cover the back 2/3rds of the new tank. Ricatic and I were musing over the possibility of making our own. A nice sheet of 1/8th inch aluminum custom cut and bent to fit wouldn't be that big of a deal.
