checked websites for ekstensive, suicidedoors, fbirides, grantkustoms, and a few others. i see them them for older models and s-10s, and even rangers, but not for mine so far.

I cut the rivets out on my stock one, spaced it up and bolted it back in. It's on top of the frame, so it's easy to do.

Sounds like a good plan, does it interfere with the stock bed floor in any way? We're trying to keep his bed as stock as possible, he doesn't even have to cut out his fender wells in the bed since he's runnin those 20s with lo pros, just gotta cut for the notch.

So what's the best way to go about making sure it's up high enough, just raise it up till the tank is above the frame rails?

I only raised mine 1". It was just barely above the frame rails. I just made sure when I dragged to sit it down level. If I sat the rear down first the tank would touch
