almost done with mine. Quick question is there supposed to be 1 or 2 springs in the bucket ? Mine only had 1 in it hoping it is enough to keep the bucket pushed down

Post up some pics of how it turned out.

My assembly only came with one spring as well.

Had to bust out all the plastic in the top piece for the fitting to be able to go through, not to hard but took a bit of time

i also had to notch out part of the bottom piece that the pump sits in, the 450 is beveled at the bottom so i didnt like having the stock squished at the bottom, took a little off of it and zip tied it up.

Ill take some pics tomorrow im pretty beat, this truck is kicking my *** right now with this damn turbo install

Looks good, but I use stainless steel zip ties in the tank. Didnt want to risk the plastic ones breaking down. Also, will that bulkhead on the fuel hat fit under the bed?

Where have you seen others use the bulkhead on top of the hat like that? I looked but couldn't find anyone who's done it. A member measured the hat distance to the bed for me and it looks like I'll be in the clear. Hopefully you get yours installed before I do so you can test it. Haha

i seen another thread but i cant remember if i saw it on here or another forum, im pretty sure ill be in the clear i remember being under there before when bed was on and looking through the frame. If it doesnt fit honestly i dont know what ill do at that point. either dent the bed up or put some spacers and drop the tank a tiny bit or i could cut the hat off and make a plate

are you doing a 90 off of your AN? if so that would be about the same height as what im at, the bulk head is only about 3/4 to 1 inch tall
