Ok then... Liftmeup lets get back to your original question. Tell us more about the truck you want to put the 40 gallon in. Is it stock, 1/2 ton, long wheelbase, 4 wheel drive? I wouldn't be to concerned about the extra weight of the gas. If it becomes an issue then beef up the springs to compensate.

k20 so I think there will be no issue with the weight if anything it will ride better empty and maybe I can backup a hill without using 4 wheel drive now lol... If it does not work out I will mount 2 new 20 gallon tanks and use a ford transfer setup so there is only one filler neck. My truck has a plow rig on the front so there will be no steering loss from burb setup

Could you please explain more about the ford transfer setup?
