I raised the bed. I used a floor jack and a cut-off piece of 4x4 to lift it (after unbolting). I then used 4x4 or 2x4 pieces (can't recall which) to wedge under the bed to keep it raised and prevent the possibility of it falling on me. I took out all but the back two bolts (torx type, but I forget the size). I loosened the back two enough to allow it to be lifted. Leaving these two still loosely screwed in helps to keep the bed stable.

Harpooning advantages:
- fills the last 3-4 gallons a TON faster
- since the last few gallons are filled faster, you are more likely to fill it completely full each time so hand calculated mileage is accurate each time
- gives you more miles you can go before re-fueling
- allows you to fill up QUICKLY at the 18 wheeler fuel pumps
Harpoonong isn't really necessary but it is a great convenience.
