The 3 tanks are suspended between the two frame rails on 1x2 upward facing U
channels. They extend below the bottom of the frame by another 7". Since I
replaced all the belly skin in the back, I just ran the new skin up to the tanks,
securing it to the lower face of the U channel. Nice clean look. If you try
and limit the depth of a tank to the thickness of the frame, you only get a flat
bottomed 3 3/4" tank, which doesn't drain well and will have other "inlet issues"
that plague many of the older "top of the floor" tanks.
Some better picts can be found at the bottom of the belly skin section and the
leveling jack sections:
