Seems like a pretty good setup. One thing to keep in mind, if that slim and skinny tank is like the ones the James had, they won't fit b/t the framerails. They are designed to fit inside the rails of an s10 and the tanks are too wide to go inside a ranger frame.

Also, don't forget to order fittings, Unless they have changed, SD doesn't usually include fittings in their air management kits.

If they are too wide to go between the frame rails there isn't much you can do to make them fit. Since you are running your stock gas tank in the bed, I would just get a regular size 5 gallon tank and mount it where the spare tire used to be. It would be pretty easy to make some brackets out of 1x1 or something similar to hold it and your compressor. That is how I would have done mine except that is where I put my fuel cell.

All Slim and Skinny tanks are the same size as the all come from the same place or basically the same place.

Feel free to view the tank dimensions on my website.

Then just measure between your frame rails and see what's fitting and what's not fitting.
