I did this not too long ago. You can lengthen the float rod easily with a piece of stiff wire, the stock sender works.
I got mine to read really accurately after it was said and done by making sure that at the bottom of the senders sweep it was just on the bottom of the tank. Also the reverse with it at the top of the tank it was right at the top of the travel.
Easy to pull the sender through it's range of motion to see where the gauge says the level is afterwards.
Sucky thing is you'll have to drop the tank to do it unless you cut a hole in the floorboards. Not so sucky thing is the LRA tank is pretty easy to drop when it's empty since it doesn't use the straps anymore.
Thanks for that info man! Getting my gauge to work right is on my list, I just have some things a bit more important right now! I fueled up the truck last night. Gauge was on empty, all I got in the tank was 23ish gallons. So I guess I know that on empty I still have 15 gallons!!
