    So through my other threads, I have come to conclusions on Jerry can and floor jack mounting options, but what I want to know is location in the bed.

    The Jerry can mount is gonna be side by side, so fully filled, this mount will net about 110lbs

    The floor jack weight is 77lbs

    What I want consider is the "taco lean", and if I mounted my gas cans in the front of the bed to the right by the rear passenger door, then mount the floor jack to the left of it (almost in the center of the front of the bed of the truck) right under the rear sliding window.

    Would these two combos of weight account for some of the taco lean? And is the passenger side of the bed the best place to mount stuff so it doesn't add to the taco lean
