    Simple, just place everything from the original tank in to the new one just extending pick-up lines down this also includes the filler neck because they check for the restriction plate and the fuel cap test. secondly is the cell itself "some techs" will fail it for being Non-OE. paint it black or have it covered some how ( i know impossible)

    my only worry is having a few capped fittings coming out of the tank. as far as visual goes. i was planning on plating the rear cage in with aluminum plates to enhance it a bit. i supposed i could cover the tank with a top plate.

    I removed the new fuel cell fill and pick ups and made an adapter to bolt in the stock pick-up and sending unit and just need to add the fill and vent from the stock tank which is just cutting the same holes as the stock tank.

    uhh... just a quick question.. are you bumping your suspension out before your locating those shock tabs on that axle? if so, screw the lines, re-locate them wherever they need to be so they do not rub on anything. from there, mount as per typical mounting instructions....

    Just move the lines, be careful and bend slightly in different areas and you will be fine. I cant find a pic of the driver side but you can see how mine are angled. For clearance they are just above where my spring plates are with the complete leaf pack and that allows you to drop the bed cage pretty far down too

    Edit: Here you can see it just bending up and over the shock mount

    This, tack EVERYTHING and cycle one last time before you weld anything on for good too. I tacked the lowers first and located the top mounts off that

    By bumping do you mean cycling? If so then yes I'll be cycling before welding everything for good .. My whole bed cage is still all tacked incase I need to make any changes
