When ya do the bodylift you'll also need to extend the filler neck hose I think.

Shouldn't have to replace the fuel filler or breather, just undo both clamps and adjust it. it JUST fits.

This is correct. You should have enough in the hose to extend it like high n mighty said, otherwise another alternative is to lift your fuel tank 2" to match.

No, u wont unless you go for a 3" bodylift. You can either hunt down a surf (import) steering shaft or just loosen the bolts at each uni at the ends of the shaft and move shaft to correct position and retighten bolts.
