Yet ANOTHER Stack Question!....Sorry!
#47
How is it possible to run 7 inch stacks with the y-pipe underneath the bed?
There is VERY LITTLE space because of the fuel tank. I don't see a way to get a 7 inch stack through the drivers side of the bed from underneath... unless you run them in the middle.

One thing a person could do if you wanted the Y underneath and still wanted to go with 5" is just drop the fuel tank about a 1/2 inch, with spacers, easy to do, enough play in the hookups for that drop, and that should allow for the 5 " pipe past it,, I think,,

I like your idea, but I'd be real careful putting a fuel cell (RCI, etc.) in the bed without a good amount of protection. Those things crack really easily, and need to be mounted on rubber mounts so they can flex. Trust me, it would not be fun to crack a fuel cell full of #2.
If you do decide to do this, take some nice pics. You're truck is AWESOME!

I've had it happen on a couple of my brother and my custom rock crawling buggies! Not fun. Now we only mount them out of the way, and on rubber bushings. They leak a whole heck of a lot less than regular tanks when you end up on your lid!

It is true that the bed flexes....independant of the frame and cab. However, it is important to make the fuel cell flex independant of what it is mounted to...the bed in this case. As the fuel sloshes around the tank moves slightly....thus the need for flex.

Makes sense. I will make sure it is mounted on LOTS of rubber!

I personally don't like em', but, instead of dropping the fuel tank install a 2" body lift. It would give you all the clearance you need between your fuel tank and bed. Plus you could squeeze bigger tires too. Just my $.02
