where can i find a gas tank crossmember for my 03 chevy? i have found the tranny ones but not for raising the gas tank.

Where all have you checked?

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.

that's what thay did on my old frame to same money

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.

No it doesn't interfear with the bed floor

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?

u can get it up about 2 in with out messing with the bed floor and that all u need to get the gas tank up level with the frame and ur good to go!!

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

just got to work and was able to check in on here. thanks for the help guys. like Mclovin said, we're plannng on mounting everything under bed floor and cutting as little as possible for as clean a look as i can get. thanks again.

If customs has one for the 2000 up

they will tell you everything you need to know about doing it
