Rear springs question turned into fuel tank discussion

What's the difference in the burb tanks length vs the K5?
Yeah, I have, but just like everything else in my life I have less free time than I need to research these things.
Unsure, but eyeballing it left the tank 3-4 inches out past the tailgate
Only reason I ask is that I run the K5 tank in my short box K10. I relocated and inboarded the shocks to front side of the axle to make room for the tank out back.
Edit- 14BFF axle is hung dead center in the wheel opening and clears 37's

Your Uncle Sam likes it though
The only reason I have much time to fool around on here is because of the nature of my job, I get paid to sit around sometimes.
I am concerned about that.

56s ftw.
In my build thread i went back and forth on putting the gas tank behind the cab. Im running the 31 gallon tank...im guessing thats what a sub runs. I wouldnt say its impossible but you lose an important crossmember and a great place to put a tool box, obviusly youd have to cut into the bed. I decided against it. Just too much of an important area. You'd have to contend with keeping the gas cool if your exhaust is run anywhere near it as well. I think, and i could be off but i plan on putting it behind the rear axle as best as i can, possibly sinking it level to the bottom of the chassis. Im finishing up the motor now but ill probably turn my attention to this within the next two weeks.

Burb is bigger
Ate those offset or centered pin?
They made a 58?
I have 57" rear ford 2wd f150 springs in the back. With ruffstuff perches with 3 holes, I put the pin in the forward most hole and the axle is perfectly centered.
Actually looking like 58.5"
The year sets either side of these are very close in dimensions, varying by about an inch.
I used these in a stock perch centered to keep ~26" forward to the spring mount
Hmmm
This is what I bought.
