I'm looking at Chuck's big 24 tank and WH 20 gallon body lift tanks.
Do these hang below the frame rails when installed? I have a 2 inch body lift. If anyone has pictures too that would be great!
Thanks!

I have the WH tank. Yes, it does hang below the frame.. I dont think anyone can squeeze 23 gal of gas in a tank and keep it above the frame. All the tanks are big.. :(

I have the tank from Chuck and a 1" body lift. I can look when I get home later, but it hangs down probably between 3 and 4 inches below the bottom of the frame rails on mine.

I have the WH 20 gal. installed w/a 3" body lift. The stock skid plate fit right into position without modification.

I just installed Chucks tank this weekend and WOW :eek: is it different than the NW tanks!

I just measured and it hangs exactly 6 inches below the bottom of the frame.

The tank is built, well, like a tank ;D ! Seriously, I can't stress to you how much beefier Chucks tank is. You can literally flex a NW tank with an air chuck just trying to blow it out. Trust me, I've done it! I stood on Chucks tank and it didn't even flex!

Aside from the build quality, the mount system is awesome. It utilizes 4 unistruts for adjustability to suit your individual body lift.

Hey, it's cheaper too!!!

You sure about that measurement?

I forgot to mention, I have a 2" body lift and new body bushings.

No I'm not, I'm guessing from memory. I'll look when I get home in a little while.

James is right about Chuck's tank. It's incredibly well built and strong. I got the optional skid plate with it, and probably didn't need to.
