In the process of changing my body mounts so thought it would be good to change fuel and brake lines .
So im doing the mounts one side at a time and was able to remove the mounts by raising the body approx 3"
Tried to remove the rh passenger fuel lines but it looks like i need to raise the body up some more
Does anyone have any idea how high i need to raise body to replace the lines?
Thank you

do you have a removable crossmember?if so,you can feed the fuel lines from the under the crossmember to the back up and over the frame rails,then put a small jack under crossmember and remove bolts and slowly lower crossmember and slip the fuel lines up then reset the crossmember and bolt it back in.
Hi l,
I believe that since the long brake line doesn't need to go up over the kick-up in the frame at the trailing arm it's a more straight forward installation.

I have removed the crossmember and with the body raised approx 3" i cannot remove the old fuel line or install the new one
I plan to paint frame this weekend and then try to raise body about 10" ,so i can get fuel tube over the back kick up area
Will also raise the frame higher but will need to wait a week or so until my son is available to help
