I broke a clip like that when installing my new fuel pump in the F250, got the biggest zip tie that would snake all the way through and around the tube, out of both openings and after I made sure it would work, I slathered black rtv on the zip tie and cinched it down. 9 months later and no issues.

So my trucks always had a lean…now with a full 36 gal tank, it almost sat perfectly even when filled.
now that I installed my RAS, the passenger side is back to sitting a little lower. So I’m assuming the RAS is a tad off…but shouldn’t equate to almost a half inch…I used a feeler gage when I did the RAS so I know they are both even
i was thinking about giving it a little adjustment while on the ground (just a tiny loosen on the driver side and a tiny tighten on the passenger). I know you adjust and measure in the air to get the gaps….any issue with this or should I just jack it up?

My truck has the same passenger side lean. Had it with the stock leaf springs and now with the Deavers. I believe it is torque lean, same ordeal I always had with my Jeeps. If you lift the rear and drop it back down, commonly it will measaure even, but anytime after driving it, the right rear always seems to be that .5" lower than the left; due to the leaf spring itself, the rear shackle, and even your RAS being under more tension due to normal forces from the truck.

happy now?
lol. Updated forscan for the 36 gal tank. I need a new laptop, this old thing takes 30-40 min to wake, barely works, and I’m over here messing with the vehicles brain with it
