From what I have seen of other mustang tank installs on these trucks, there is a crossmember that is on the frame from the factory that is riveted in between the leaf spring shackles. Your truck must have had this removed when you got it. The little one you refer to is for hanging the spare tire. I was wondering if you saw any issues with having no crossmember between the frame in that area (between the leaf spring shackles) ? Other mustang tank installs have shown this beefy crossmember ( see photo) moved back towards the rear of the frame. Have you had any issues without support in that area?
