I did long ago a body lift but the gas tank needs lifting.
Any ideas as its held on at the front by 2 bolts and the brackets (welded to the tank) go flat towards the front for about 4 inches then they go down and backwards (at about a 30 degree angle basically till they rejoin the tank.
At the back they are basically flat.
I thought that if i droped the tank (using a jack),then put the back of the tank up first to bolt it in above the chassis,then put the front bolts back in.This would mean that the tank was on a angle and the gauge would read incorrect.

IS THIS THE WAY TO DO IT OR ARE THERE ANY BETTER IDEAS?

Thanks in advance
