    Gas tank skid. There's two bolts on the back and 2 bolts up front (actually 3 up front, but only 2 of them hold the skid on).

    The rear two bolt into the strap that wrap the tank and which seem to be missing.

    It'll fit, but the backspacing is pretty aggressive. With a 3-5/8" backspacing you'll be rubbing the pinchweld hard with 285's. Nothing grinder and hammer won't fix, but you'll rub.

    I only noticed it cuz I was checking my brake line to c how it was doin. Can I remove it. I can weld a strap on but I'm kinda hesitant since its my gas tank. Any suggestions

    No. I was assuming you had a lift. I rubbed the pinchweld with 4" backspacing full lock/compression. Even less backspacing will make it rub more.

    You can remove it. Just pull the two bolts off the front, to pull the skid, then replace the two bolts up front. If you don't, your gas tank will only be held up with the rear strap and 1 bolt. Not a good idea.

    Alternatively....just fine two bolts and replace the missing ones in the rear. No welding, no muss, no fuss.

    It's really not that big of a deal.
    10 minutes with a grinder and your favorite Ford tool and most of the problem will be solved.

    Were those 4" BS or 4.5"? My old ones were 4.5" and they rubbed hard on the frame. I think 4" is the sweet spot for 285's
