Yes, there's been a number of members that gotten to their tanks by lifting the bed. I have my 5th wheel hitch rails in mine so it's not much of an option for me.

I haven't done my yet. I am collecting parts now.

IMO
I would think lifting the bed would be a pain in the ****
Have to get the bed bolts out. Mine has a 5th wheel hitch and would have to take that off to.. Some way to lift the the bed off, Scratch the paint, etc..
