Luckily I found a used tank locally that was very fairly priced. I noticed that the passenger side strap had a much sharper turn vs drivers. And since the strap is shaped like the Nike swoosh, tightening the bolt side, it seems the strap tightens a lot tighter at the turn vs rest of strap. So I added 5 washers between the strap and chassis. My theory is that the shortened distance created via the washers will help take some of that tension off the strap where it turns.

I also took Fitted Life's recommendation and add this foam padding from his video https://youtu.be/zAQGxsJIz80

Since I got 50ft of the padding straps and when looking underneath the chassis where the tank butts up, there was a ton of rubbing scratches. I used the excess padding straps and add them too the tank. Sure it might look retarded but why not try it.

I currently have GKtech's poly subframe bushings installed which pushes the subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. Everything clears with the "looser" tank installed. I'm going to fill the tank up 1/2 full, check if any movement in tank. If not, fill full and check again. If everything looks fine I'll check later after some mileage.
