hey, i put the 3" lift in my GQ a while ago and had to take out the fuel tank due to upper control arm and have been running straight gas since. now what is the best thing to do now. get a bent upper control arm or get the tank notched. with getting it notched who would i talk to / get it done?

Ive got a 4" lift and had the tank cut out.
I wouldnt have thought you could get a arm bent enough to clear the tank.
My upper arm goes a good couple of inch's into the tank on full articulation.
I dont run sway bars though.
Got my tank modified by Total 4wd center in epping. But was about 6 years ago.
I dont know if they are still around.
I would look up a alloy fab company or any of the aftermarket tank suppliers. Should be someone this side of town that can do it.

notch tank for sure. bent arms are dumb. when they are put under any pressure they just break. the arm has pull forces acting on it and it'll just snap at the bend.
