    So, does anyone know if the gas tank does need to be adjusted? Sounds like it does but I don't know if that's only for a 3" lift. If I'm only doing a 1" lift, does it still need to be adjusted?

    What will a body lift do to my 'Tone' receiver hitch. Is it going to leave a 1" gap where I cut the cladding?

    The only body lift I have ever dealt with was on my old wrangler. I had to watch out for the filler neck I think but not the tank itself. Also the linkage stretched from the column to the gearbox.... it was about 12-12 years ago so cant really remember it all.

    Yep, if the body goes up & the hitch is mounted to the frame...a gap is inevitable.

    These, & other questions I would like answers to...

    Steering linkage?
    Transfer case shifter?
    Transmission shifter?
    Brake lines?
    Any other frame mounted wires/hoses?
    Radiator mount?

    Brake lines?
    Brake lines shouldn't be affected. They do not mount to the body at any point.

    "Brake lines shouldn't be affected. They do not mount to the body at any point."

    They attach to the master cylendar which is mounted to the firewall.
