My attempt at routing the fuel line prior to failed. Rookie mistake, I routed the fuel lines on the inside of the frame and the lines are too close to the headers. I plan on routing the new lines on the top of the frame, but not sure how to permanently secure them. I have a 1" body lift and there is a little bit of room. Right/wrong on routing and how to secure now the finished body is on the frame.

I used two inch BL, and put them in after body was installed, and pre drilled and tapped holes. Still a mistake, took me two weeks on my back looking up making 1/4 turn on a allen wrench to tighten them down.

Most run inside the frame, and then on top of the frame at the firewall forward, to stay away from headers.

I had to use top of frame, pipes and a less than perfectly placed torque arm destroys any inside the frame mounting. No way could I do what Timmy did inside frame.
