Maybe you should brace the back frame rails apart with some square tube and then remove the back cross member. If you weld in some square tube it will keep the rails in place and stay strong but will allow the removal of that factory cross member and give you the room to bring the tank back some.

Just an idea.. I like what you have so far.
