Fuel Filler Tube Mod for Shackles

Anyone have a picture of what they did to the fuel filler tube to add clearance for lowering shackles? I went with the 1" Belltech 6700 which measure more than 1" from the stock shackle. I test fitted the shackle and it probably only needs about 3/8" of clearance or so.

I have read that a few people just took it to an exhaust shop and they sorted the issue out and I would like to have a picture if possible to minimize time spent head scratching and keeping a little extra cash in my pocket.


FYI, just C-notched, and putting in a flip kit, pulling some leaves and adding air over leaf, I want the axle against he bumps in the c-notch with deflated bags.

Thanks.
Dexter

If I remember right I found a filler tube at the wreckers from a newer truck the shape I wanted and cut it to fit

I'm thinking it just needs a little kink that goes towards the rear a little to keep the gas tank to filler neck hose from making contact with the shackle?
