Did you have to move the dual propane tank holder closer to the tongue to miss the levelers bracket on the frame? I am going to do this to mine and cut the welds on the single tank holder.

I was considering adding a tank but never researched how. Thanks for the link. Looks like a pretty simple mod.

Did you purchase the two tank regulator?

It's actually not bad at all. 

I like this option for the spare tire mount. Do you need to remove the spare tire from the holder when hooking up the Equalizer bars?

How do you access the load leveler bars with the spare installed? It seems like it would be difficult?


TIA

Can you attach the sway bar when the tire is mounted? Is their enough room if you have to use tool?

Thanks for including all the parts on Amazon.

What's your new tongue weight with the tire and full propane tanks?

Thanks

Nice job.  I mounted mine in the bed.  My wife likes to sleep with it. LOL

I added 1-½ block of PT wood and that gave enough room for my Equalizer 4point Wdh anti sway bar. 
The bar actually is under the tire mount.

Nice work!  Do you know how much room there is between the inside of the spare and the frame?  I have a Blue Ox hitch which may make it a little more difficult to operate.  I suppose you could add a thicker spacer to bring it out a little further from the frame.
