Its so much better for a diy guy without a lift to pull the pan/box or whatever name you call it in your neck of the woods, off the truck. 8 bolts. Gives you full access to all the rusted bolts and the 2 inches of caked mud covering the top of your gas tank

Guess dodge wasn't the only bright idea in the department of "drop the tank to replace Driver side leaf springs"

[@robpaul7900]

All you need to do is sawzall the bolts off and no need to drop tank.

or you can take the driver side bolts out of the bed and loosen the passenger side, lift the driver side up and prop it up with a small jack stand, disconnect the fuel fill hose first of coarse before you raise driver side bed, disconnect the hoses to the fuel tank from above and drop the tank! easy peasie!

[@damienfauolo6613]

I was thinking of just taking the bed off would that give easier access?

Do they not sell the forward bracket for the leaf spring? My 09 needs new forward bracket. Thanks

[@JT-tz5hp]

All that video and you skipped the tightening of the u bolts. When should i have torqued them? To what ft lbs?

[@rickfischer6629]

Why bother with this rust bucket? Catastrophe waiting to happen.
