yea its sick.. but i think thats a lil more complex than what roach is goin for... realistically its not really "that hard". the main part is matching the pump etc to stock. also mounting the fuel cell in a DOT approved location. Watch the laast episode of trucks on powerblock.yeayea i know that **** is made to look way eaiser on TV but still its a generally easy to install. som frame boxing, measuring, welding, and bolting in stuff. Id like to do this down the road with my truck but who knows.

reverse is bad as the arc the axle swings causes the driveshaft to move away from the trans rather than toward it. this can cause issues with the slip yoke in certain situations.
if you really want to link your truck and run coilovers in the rear w/o relocating the fuel tank, you can run parallel links outside the frame and mount the coilovers behind the axle. a parallel link setup requires some form of lateral location however. panhard bar or watts link are most common.
