Tony - that's the tank in-place, but keep in mind that without a 1" BL you'll need to clearance the body crossmember above it (there's plenty of material to clearance there) - however, it won't change the relation of the tank to the frame rails, it will sit as shown in either case.
Hope that helps!

I should know this answer by now since I have had my parts for this a while, but cyclocross racing takes over all my fall weekends.
With a 2" BL how hard would it be to tuck the tank up farther?

hmm.. - if you flattened the pinch welds on either end and ran totally flat lower straps, you could probably go up another inch with it? it's certainly worth considering in your situation.

May not be worth it looking at the pics. It doesn't look like there is that much hanging down past the frame rails.

well, there's also something to be said about keeping the weight of the fuel lower - if even by an inch!

According to some I am already on the fast track to death because I installed a body lift.

Well done. So cool to see all of these small, innovative, parts coming to life that address the flaws of the 4Runner chassis for our applications. Love the simplicity and precise design of your parts.
I gotta say it.... 4th gen next ?!?!?!

No smog guy is going to check where your fuel tank is located. As long as it doesn't throw any OBD codes, it shouldn't be an issue. I bet you could even run dual tanks and it wouldn't throw codes with the right venting setup.
I don't think there is any reasonable way to make it truly legal though...

Yeah, I was thinking that as well. With it looking like a factory fuel tank and not something that screams fuel cell I’m sure it’s not to big a deal. Also connected to the factory filler location would make it less
Suspect too.

My first post here, but wanted to get in on the brackets if possible. Joined so I could build my first 4Runner Money pit. 3rd Gen SAS 3/4 Linked. Looks like the fuel tank conversion is a must in the build.
