Thanks!

Yeah, because I put in 64" rear springs from a later style 1 ton truck, I would only have been able to do a 16 gallon side tank, and because I didn't have any 16 gallon tanks, and I would want 2 of them it was cheaper to figure out a rear tank. I paid $167 for the 31 gallon, sender and straps-including shipping.

I would have done a 40 gallon tank, but the right rear inboard shock would have interfered with the larger tank. If I remember, the 40 gallon was 4 inches longer and 1 inch deeper.
