I know there are roughly 953 threads on tank lifts. It appears to be a very simple process and I feel ridiculous for asking this question. I've got the straps/brackets from some u-bolts for the amount of lift I need. What I would like to know, and what I haven't yet found on any of the threads, is what type of hardware should I use to actually secure the tank to the frame. I would like something structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing. Advice,tips,suggestions appreciated.

 

Use the stock tank front bolt. That's what most people do.

 

I used grade 8 bolts and locknuts for the top and the stock bolt and mounting hole for the bottom. I painted the grade 8 nuts/bolts black.
Here's a closeup. Feel free to PM me if I can help.
