Tank lifts look good, but will lose a little fuel capacity and gauge accuracy.

I've got a 2" Jakyl lift and love it. Easy to install and looks great. If you don't like it, not a lot of money spent. Should look good with the apes you've got.

BTW Nice handle '*******' . Takes ***** to adopt that username.

Accuracy, the MOCO doesn't even comprehend what that means, Toast don't let that slow you down.

I was thinking more along the lines of "it's so easy to put on that even I have it".

Do it!!! +2 or 3 on Jackyl's lift. Not expensive, great quality and I'm sure someone will buy it off you if you don't like it.

I know you meant "lose 1/4 gallon of gas" But the difference????? Simple, it means being stuck on the side of the road just outside of town some 10 miles from the next station. maybe in the desert somewhere, in a 100* heat!
