The top side of this tank DOES have an angle on it for the rear cross member. It fits in there pretty snug but does have about 1/2" clearance on all sides. I got it last year in a group buy. I'm just disappointed

it can't be installed without modifying the frame now. Even if I raise the tank to clear the hose, the location of the rollover valve OR a return line elbow will come in contact with the bed cross member.

Just for the record, my truck is LWB 2WD.
