Gas Tank lift
« on: March 24, 2003, 12:56:49 AM »
Has anyone done the gas tank lift as described in Hagan's article? What was your experience? Was it worth it? I'm still on the fence a little bit.

If you have done a body lift definately do it. It's great. I always would drag my tank untill I did the mod. Now the 33x12.50 spare is the first thing to hit (still in original location) If you have an afternoon, a grinder and a welder, you can do this mod and you wont be dissapointed.

It's not the wheeling that sucks so much gas, it's getting there.
I get 10 MPG pulling a hill with stock gears and 33" Swampers.

I know when I swap gears to the 5:83s I will pick up some more MPG
but I never got more than 23 MPG bone stock brand new, and that was
cruising less than 65 freeway.  Average miles per tank - 200 and you
need gas bad, hope there is a station someplace close, so to be safe,
we always stopped at about 150 miles and filled up. this equals stopping
for gas about every 3 hours, which is fine for the women folk, but every
time you stop add 1/2 hour to the arrival time... *sigh*  takes forever
to get someplace like that.

yea, I only get around 180/tank on 33's. But after 2.5-3 hours in the truck, I,m ready to get out for a minute and pump some gas, and 90% of the time I travel solo, so I dont have to worry about the 30min. thing. 5-10 and I'm rolling again ;D
