Lift to compensate for fuel tank drop

[ScottBailey]

I'm considering replacing my stock 29 gallon tank with a Transfer Flow 46. It looks like I will lose around an inch of clearance. I started looking into leveling kits, especially ICON. But I'm thinking that the ICON kit replaces my heavy stock camper springs with much softer lift springs (read: reduced payload capacity)...

SO, does anyone have an opinion on Ready Lift? This kit looks like it will give me back the clearance the tank will cost, and at a fairly reasonable price.

Although my Transfer Flow tank does ride lower than the stock tank - it is not the lowest hanging item and I have yet to snag it on anything. I did Cinnamon Pass in Colorado 3 times last fall with no issues. However, the retaining straps on the TF tanks look like something that could result in disastrous failure if you snagged them just right on something.

yes the transmission skid plate is much lower. i never have touched the tank to anything.

Hmmn...

Maybe I need to spend some more time under my truck...

Still, looking for advice on leveling kits. Seeing how I've already tested the skid plates, I might just want the clearance anyway!
