just get tube thats the same diameter and get it stock legnth + 4 inches (get the extra inch so you can trm it to perfect size after body lift is installed)



and what do you mean how do i throw it all together? lol

MuddfreaksOffroad

well ... how do i install the tube? and dont the tube need to be a tad bit smaller or bigger then the real gas tank tube?? that way i can clamp it?? and do i just buy any metal?? or should i go with plastic that gas wont eat threw?

and what i mean is how do i put the tube in there do i disconnect it from the bed or ??? do you have a link that can tell me? lol sorry

AZkid

its basically a tube screwed into the gas tank door, and one into the gas tank, nothing complicate, just crawl under your truck and take a look, it makes it alot easier, if i still had the truck id take pics and show you,

get the SAME SIZE tube, and get some seal all, seal it up real nice at the ends of the tubes,

well im off to bed, ill try to get on in the morning, any questions for me, just post in here, or PM me

update on my truck so i lifted it had a issue wiht the throttle cables, now my steering in broke!!! um not the acutal steer just where the steering wheel assembly connects to the steering box or rac and pinion if thats what everone else calls it, if anyone has ideas let me konw please i love this truck i would love to keep it lifted but if not then i am taking the lift off. Um what happen is i was backing into my drive way and the steering just like gave way i looked at it and its the rubber connector peice that connects the steering assembly from the cab to the steering componets. ( sorry i dont know the exact names ) so i am going to napa n call around see if i can get a extension and also a new rubber piece along with new bolts. but if you could help me out that would be great!!!!

well i found out i cant order just the steering extension or the gas tank extension so i am going to buy a new body lift kit cuz it will come with it all its only 140 and then i am prob going to put on 29x9.5 maxxis big horns or maybe super swampers but i am not sure yet cost is a issue there and i might be getting a 1980 toyota 4x4 std cab this winter so that will limit how much i put into my lil truck. BUT either way after i get my 4x4 i am going to finish my 2wd.

AZkid

pretty sure if you look hard enough youll find it

Leg0nd

got a couple of 80's and 81's that need a whole lot of work done to them around my house for pretty cheap. but then again i live in GA. and I got mine for $320 lol. still ran etc. just had a cracked head

MuddfreaksOffroad

AZkid what you mean ill find it? find what? lol the parts for the body lift? lol well i called around i cant get them new no one will break up the kit for liablity issues which is fine i am going to save up and get the actual body kit lift. and as far as the 4x4 i have an eye on a 1980 std cab that i want really bad it runs great drives great but its a 4 speed id rather have a 5 speed but anyways i just need to wait till x mas to see what i can get cuz i want that truck!!! lol it has a cam in it a weber carb and i believe a headmen header. so yeah its awesome not hte best looking but its a 4x4

Leg0nd

from what I have heard, if you decide to put big tires on it, lift it etc. then the 5 speed is useless. I hear the 5th gear drops out after you get to a certain tire size. I have a 4 speed in my 81 and can still run 75 with the stock gearing. It howls a lil bit, but it's not too loud, lol. I try to stay between 65 and 70 though.

Just a correction, it is only $35 plus $7 shipping for the recirc. ball extension, that is typically all you need with a 3" body lift.

But yes, if you need all those other parts, then a whole kit may be a good deal.

AZkid

look for a used kit online THAT HAS EVERYTHING

Most body lift kits do not come with new body mount bushings, they are typically separate, so just be advised to check that out. Folks often confuse the body lift blocks and the body mount bushings, those are two separate things and they have two different purposes.

MuddfreaksOffroad

ill double check i believe that the kit i am getting has them but ill call 4 wheel performance tommorrow to double check thanks. but unfortunately to lack of me havin a job and my unemployment going down in amount per week i might have to wait till christmas so i am taking off the body lift cuz well i dont have the right parts fixing the steering and then ill be ok i will be able to drive it again. BUT no matter what i am getting the lift kit i just need the extra money right now for bills and what not. thank you guys tho alot im learning ALOT off this site that i thought i already new alot bout lol
