i guess you could stick it out the back bumper somehow. Or just leave it in the same spot but run the piping in and out of the cab. |

I installed the vit fuel tank, and run the filler pipe on top the chassis rail. I only had a bit of rubbing of the guard with 32" pedes, so I chopped the guard so I could raise it 2" with the rest of the body. WHats the true OD of the 33s your planning? |

i moved the inlet on the tank to the top and ran it straight up through the floor, then made a different metal pipe to connect it to the filler |

haha might try that. because i only have a 25mm body lift there isnt a great deal of room to move the filler. |

rubs the cover thing very easily, i am still working out what gets in the way. i still haven't flexed it properly yet but i can see that the filler is going to cause issues. i would rather move things or chop them off before putting massive bumpstop spacers in. |

Ignore. No paint and shiny, either fix the cause or repaint and ignore. It's a tried and proven method of troubleshooting. |
