Dealers typically just lift the bed to do this. 8 bolts that usually zip right out with an impact, even if rusty. Then unhook the tail light harness, and remove spare tire winch rod. Bed can be up off the frame in under 30 minutes and beats trying to drain the tank or fighting trying to lower it when full



That's the way I'll tackle it. I won't have any trouble getting some muscle over here to lift the bed off. I don't have a compressor or air tools, but a friend of mine does...on a trailer. Think I'll hijack it for a day.
