dropping the tank I need to change out my fuel pump, and in order to do that, it involves dropping the exhaust, tank, and rear axle. Also involves removing the hind quarter panel, according to the chilton's manual. Has anyone else had to do this? If so, do you have any tips before I jump into this? Thanks

you don't need to remove the 1/4 panel. You can just take off the pan hard bars, remove the shocks and LOWER the rear end for clearence. But yes exhaust should come off. It's not that bad to do.
This might sound crazy but some people cut a door right above where the fuel pump sits on top of the tank from above. If you do this you will not even have to drop anything. Do a few net searches on this and see what you wanna do .

Found out from a shop owner you don't need to drop as much as they say but make sure you are on 5 ton jack stands and placed properly or you will regret it.
