TO those who have installed one of these, is there any drilling involved?
I am thinking about getting one of these. Is it hard to connect to OEM lines?
Thanks for any information.

You have to drill three holes to mount the bracket. Drilling wasn't hard I used a Uni bit which made it very easy. I did have a very hard time disconnecting the fuel line on top of the tank. After I got it off one of the tabs was bent when it was installed in the factory so the quick release tool could not get under that tab to release it. Also to get to the top of the tank you have to fit between the drive shaft and tank. If you are a big person you might have to drop the drive shaft to have easier access to the connection on top of the tank.
Hope this helps.

i see you are waiting on banks exhaust. with my banks exhaust i can sit up under the truck, between the frame and muffler. then i just reach across over the driveline to the top of the tank. i've installed 30+ kits myself and i have yet to pull a driveline. however i'm 6'1" 170lbs.

On mine I did the install while I was changing over the exhaust. Do it with the exhaust out!!!!! I had to drop the tank about 4-5" in order to gain top access and unbolt the fuel cooler and let it hang down to connect the fuel hoses in front.
