body lift issues

So i searched and found some people had the same issues as me but did not see how they fixed it. First the stupid steering extension did not fit, pos!! Now i need to extend my fuel filler hose, I expected that but just trying to get an idea of how anyone else did it. I live in Alaska so resources are limited.

Don't know about the steering parts without knowing which kit... but for the fill pipe, if you can find some stainless steel pipe you should be able to cut the fill hose and hose clamp a section a section of pipe in there.

I have a 3" body lift and a stock filler hose is JUST long enough.

Not sure if you've seen this, but it's super helpful. http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...ft_HowTo.shtml

Even if you don't have the 4crawler lift, the information will still apply to whatever kit you're using.

I have a summit racing brand kit, its 3 inches and I am putting a piece of steel pipe in the filler tube hopefully that works. As for the steering extension I just beat the hell out of it with a sledge and AHHHHHH it works!! Guess you cant beat the ole remedy of getting a bigger hammer.
