Dodge Dekota gas tank replacement

[johnj92131]

Get a bunch of baking soda put it in the tank. Fill with water.  Let sit 24 hours or till bubbles stop to nutrilize that acid.   Rinse and power wash again.  THEN repeat with fresh baking soda.  Murattic acid is VERY strong and persistent.

After I got the tank back in I took the sway bar off then went off roading. To my pleasant surprise the front end decided to engage! Previously it would not. Anyway, just like that I had 4wheel drive. 
 
This is the max articulation I could get with the factory shocks. 
 

Is is a vacuum disconnect? Yeah those things can be finicky.

These are jeeps can do pretty good with stock set up. Bet the hell out of my 85 XJ off road before the factory leaf springs finally broke. Went through at least three axels before that.

I bought a Ford 8.8 out of an Explorer for $75. Years ago when I bought a '99 TJ the guy threw in an HP 30 with 4.56 gears in it. So I've gotta install 4.56 in the 8.8 then swap the axles. I'm hoping someone can enlighten me on which Moog coil spring I will need to fit 34" Swamper TSL narrows under my truck. Gonna fab the links and shock mounts. 

 

Again, any and all advice is appreciated.
