Default Fuel Line flip mod

Can somebody explain to me exactly how to do the fuel line flip to get that extra inch for true duals. I've looked under the car I just can't figure out as to what I"m suppose to do. Which bracket needs flipped. Thanks

The 2 black hangers on the d/s tunnel. Pop the lines out, unbolt hanger, flip hanger, muscle the lines back in. Just did it on mine. Took a little convincing to get the lines back, but they finally went in.

I just wrapped my fuel/brake lines in heater hose (split down the center) and put my duals as close to them as I needed to.

^^ Thanks for the tip. That's not a bad idea at all.

Now, off to find a thread on the "Big 3"....

Get the big heater hose, like 1 inch or whatever. Split the hose down the center, cut it in length to fit between the body clips holding the lines. Wrap all three lines with the hose and secure it with zip-ties every few inches. I did all the hose in the tunnel like this. That could save a ruptured/snagged line from a DS or suspension failure or damage from road debris.
