Another way to replace the steel fuel line without lifting the body is not to buy the pre bent line, buy a "roll" of 3/8 fuel line, stainless, alumn. steel, whatever, the problem is with the pre bent you can't feed it through frame at the rear kick up because of all the bends,that why you have to lift the body, depending on what year you have from the kick up to the fuel pump the line is accessible, get the car up on stands, remove the RR wheel, remove the old fuel line, with a helper starting from the Kick up feed the new line from the roll forward to the fuel pump, you'll have to straighten or bend as you go don't get in a hurry, when the new line gets to the fuel pump stop and measure back to to the rear crossmember from where you are, include the kick up distance and a little more,cut off the roll and continue with your helper feeding forward, the extra will have to come out the engine compartment or under the suspension, when you get to your end of the line feed it back up and through the kickup to the rear crossmember, it doesn't hurt to have extra line, you can cut off the extra after you set your line the way you want it.
