Hey all,

I'll be dropping the fuel tank. While it's dropped, I planned on upgrading to a higher flowing fuel pump (found in other threads here), replacing all the hoses/lines/etc. Is there anything else that I should expect to do? Tail shaft and catback are coming out, I thought about changing the catback out while I was there. I figured I would look for replacing bolts/ gaskets/etc everywhere too.

Anything I should specifically look out for or do?

If the fuel tank is out drop the rear subframe and replace the diff bushings.
As well as check and replace rear suspension balljoints and bushings where applicable

Any chance you could document the job? Would be a great addition to the forum.

Sure! Once I get parts and my portable car lift in I'll do it. I was thinking of making a video out of it anyway. :)
