Well mine is also my daily driver which I drive over 40 miles round trip to and from work. I saw somewhere, but cant remember where, a 15 gal. tank and wondered if it could be done.
Along with what Midnightrider said I think this is what he's thinking of.

Doubling your 4WD's travelling range with the Long Ranger fuel tank. You can now replace your existing tank with the convenient Long Ranger, saving precious luggage and passenger space, and providing safer, more economical fuel storage for long trips. You'll minimise inconvenient refuelling stops and buy your fuel at the best prices, thereby recouping the cost of installing a replacement or auxiliary tank.Long Ranger fuel tanks are available either as a replacement of the original unit or as an auxiliary to it. In certain vehicles, both a replacement and an auxiliary can be fitted for those extra long trips in remote areas.

Constructed from 2mm aluminised steel, Long Ranger tanks are Mig welded during manufacture. Baffles are fitted at the time of manufacture, as are fuel pick-up and breather outlets. Fuel expansion capacity is catered for in the design.

If you have have a 3" BL, i think a tank lift is a very good idea. you can also do it with a 2", but may need some more work.

Who has done this on a 4-door w/2" B/L??
« Reply #25 on: September 16, 2005, 04:40:32 PM »
I've been searching and reading for 2 hours now and can't match up someone that's raised the gas tank on a 4-door with a 2" body lift.

Feel free to chime in now with the answers/pics/information.

The tank is wider and larger than the 2 doors, so it'll be different i'm sure, and most of these dudes seem to have a 3" body lift to start with for the tank lift.

Shouldn't the tank be low for safety purposes? I mean, if you get rearended and your tank is higher, its more likely to get crushed and cause a fire/explosion right? Or am I way off base.

Actually in stock form the tank hangs below the frame rails some. Lifting the tank 3-4" pretty much centers it vertically in the frame so it is much more protected...

Mike

How much wider is it? I just tore the body off of a 92 four door frame and although I didn't measure, it looked the same. If the 4 door frame is wider, then what about the coil cups on the rear axle? And what about the engine mounts?
