Hi party people, I just bought a 2020 JLU Diesel. I've just started my build. I'm curious if anyone has made any efforts to relocate/change out the DEF tank, since it hangs so low. I'm going to do the exhaust mod, so it would make room for a wider, more shallow tank. I've not been able find any posts about this specifically.

I will be purchasing the underbelly skids but still would make sense to modify the tank if possible.

Thanks y'all.

I've seen nothing about doing anything with the DEF tank other than throwing a slider on it. Someone who wheels a lot with his diesel doesn't even have skids on his and doesn't hit it.

I just got the Metal Cloak skids. Any change to the tank will have to be 100% custom as no one makes anything bolt in.

I am running the metal cloak skids on my diesel. I painted mine black so you really don’t see it as easy.

There is/was one person from Texas that relocated his DEF tank. I messaged them asking for pictures as to how/what he did to relocate it. Unfortunately, they never responded. That being said, and after crawling under mine to figure out how to relocate it, I think it can be raised up 2-3 inches. To do this, it’s going to require making a new bracket or modifying the factory bracket. For my rig, I’m going to try building a new bracket it’ll be a couple months before it’s done, but I’ll be sure to put some good photos as to how we did it.
