Guys with frame connectors and tubs, did you remove the gas tank before installing them?

It's best anytime you are working around the tank area where there is going to be any sparks or heat like that to get the tank out and far away from the area. You never know so way take the chance.

Yeah, what Jet-Taz said.

I will probably be going with side exit exhaust, but didn't want to. If you go with the stock tank and relocate the springs, it very difficult (but not impossible) to run exhaust to the bumper.
