63" Rears and Gas Tank Clearence

[NorCalKid]

Anyone have any issued with gas tank and diff clearances after going to 63" springs in the rear. It will move the axle back 5" without moving the front hanger, I plan or redrilling my perches an inch or so forward then an ez inch or zero rate to get another 1.5". So I am looking at about 2.5" back without moving the front. Anyone see any problems with this route?

How much lift?

Check my build thread for some pics. Mine is about 5" of lift and the axle is back 5.5"s. I have a Razorback diff cover so its a little bigger than most others and it will just barely hit the gas tank skid but i pulled the skid off and it looks like it wont hit the gas tank. There's some room between the skid and tank so Im just gonna let the diff cover dent the skid

Looking for about 4" maybe a little less. Going to be making a shackle flip so I can adjust height a little with that too.

muddermilitia, I had forgotten yours was on a k5 frame, I will have to go look over your build again

You are going to have a lot of spring hanging out the back with 63s(64s). If you move your axle towards the front you will have even more hanging out. Especially if you get your lift by way of shackle flip.

so it all depends, guess I will just have to try it out.

True, but not that much more then my 56's and the flex is worth it.
