Remove bed Vs drop tank is always an open question.
If you can get the tank to only a few gallons or less then dropping the tank is usually easier. Also if your by your self then you have no choice. (Note driving on empty can burn up the pump)

If you have a friend or 2 to help you and you can't get the tank empty then removing the bed is your best choice. When you lift the bed, place it on top of stuff so you don't cave in the fenders.
