Red face Another cab mount and fuel question!

I removed the 4 cab mount bolts and the cab is still tight. Do I need to remove the front radiator support mounts as well? FYI, the fenders and etc. are bolted up and I haven't touched anything up front.

I need a picture of the factory hard crossover fuel lines installed. Also, I need the fuel clips to secure the three of them together. Where can I find them? I'm having trouble putting them together and having the ends sit properly.

Thanks in advance.

That was my plan for a while, but I spent a few hundred dollars "restoring" my factory tanks.

Another question: My PST body mounts are 1-piece, but the factory ones are two pieces. Am I supposed to cut the PST ones in half? There is a line down the center of them.

The PST's should be both of the factory pieces combined. (hence the line in the middle) They're the same width as the 2 factory ones, right??

Yep, they are combined. The PST ones are the same width and a bit higher. I'll have to cut them down that line---What should I use for a clean cut? I know Chris said he used PST mounts on his truck. Hopefully, he'll see this and chime in.

You shouldn't have to cut the bushings. They should be seperated already and have 12 in a package. Are you sure you have the right part number?

Hmm............Not sure if this is the PN or not---3.4116G? I'll have to give them a call tomorrow.

Now, why isn't my cab lifting up?

There are 6 mounts. Two in back, two in middle, and two at the front of the frame.

Okay, then I do have to remove the radiator support mounts as well. I'll keep you guys' updated on my situation with PST.

Stupid question I know, but what are you using to try and lift it?

A floor jack and 2x4. I'll remove the front mounts and see if that does the trick.

I wouldn't "remove" them. I would take one side completely out, and losen the opposite side. And yes you need to losen all of them.
