What fuel lines to go with will probably be a toss-up among the community. If you go AN we'd recommend PTFE hose with the same brand PTFE fittings. Standard AN hose will permeate the smell of fuel. Either PTFE or hard line would work. It will likely come down to what you're comfortable working with and the look you're going for.

You might want to replace the worm drive clamps with something like an oetiker clamp. In other builds on this site, there have been failures due to the worm drive clamps

Got my cell from DBRods today and wow, this thing is solid! Waiting on a gasket that should be here tomorrow. Hoping to get the bed pulled and the factory tank out this weekend so I can bolt this thing on!

Thanks guys! It’s 20gal. Not much smaller than the factory tank and no fuel starvation issues. Also puts weight behind the rear axle and frees up alot of space 👍🏽🇺🇸

Got any directly above pics of the cell install? And how you mounted it to the frame? Looks like you mounted to the lower frame flange in some fashion.
