You’re questioning a 2015 post from someone who has not been seen on StSo for a year.

Sloshing fuel is a very bad thing at low tank. Air in fuel can cause stalled engine at speed. I would absolutely repair.

Agreed

Work smarter, not harder.

Red trucks are faster, more fuel efficient, more reliable, quieter, smoother driving, and have better torque. Ask me how I know.

Elegant in its simplicity. Well done!

I own the complete 24 V military impact repair toolset. I have a small flux core 110/220 welder with inverter. I have assorted screw drivers and pliers and ratchets. I have a spare tire with RicoRhino. I have 10 gallons water Gerrycans and 20 gallons Diesel Gerrycans. IPhone with emergency GPS...

Honestly, I would eliminate the ram air. This isn’t a 455 HO TA.

Goes up and down. Seriously. Same with FMTV and even storage containers

Air in line? Cracking an injector and try to start.

IMHO, just get 1/8” soft aluminum sheet and make the feet. Simple cheap and effective. No one will notice or care.

I might have auto jacks and jack stands hand to hold body up to allow slipping the new bushings into place. I might loosen several at a time to allow body to pull away from frame to allow access. Should be straightforward if my prior experiences are any indication.

I posted about a similar problem. Disconnect your exhaust and see if the problem goes away. If that’s the case, then your catalytic converter is clogged. These vehicles have huge problems with the catalytic converters like a clogged during prolonged idle. The military likes to idle their trucks...
