Exclamation Metal Gas tank Removal

Trying to remove my metal gas tank from my 1998 4x4 blazer, ITS TOTALLY STUCK IN THERE

ok i removed..
filler neck both rubber hoses in rear of tank
two bolts on side where the emergency brake cable is
3 small bolts in the filler tube
two straps, one nut and one bolt
all wires going to pump
all hoses going to pump
hose going to front of tank
fuel filter

Whats Left, it rocks, and is lower now in the rear
but after a few inches stuck like hell, front wont drop at all because part of tank goes over crossmember
and there is a stupid plastic shroud there.
tank wont move toward rear to release from crossmember

What else can be removed???????????
Please help
Does it have to do with 41 44 or 47??
On the diagram I have dislodged 25 &26, 35 and 33 are also removed.

Removing the straps 32 and 34 should let it drop down...

thanks DonL, I think I figured it out, the leaf spring bolts are stopping it from falling, going to be hard to get it done now.
