Default Cross over hose after tank lift

I installed a 2" tank lift from jackyl. It really seams to pull on the crossover hose. I bent the tubes a little, and it helped, but i'm worried. Anybody else have this problem? Maybe it will be okay. Heres some pics.

go to auto parts store and get some longer fuel hose, pick up some hose clamps as well.

Try and do it when the tank is empty, but you knew that.

Yup! What he said. You got to replace the hose with a 1/2" to 1" longer hose to give it a little slack, plus two hose claps (I used the stainless type).

i've got the same tank lift, but delivered as a kit, with a longer hose, works perfectly...

Same kit, had a longer hose in it. Make sure the tank is empty... I mean as close to bone dry as possible... Then just replace the old one and you will be set.

Yep, get a longer hose. I wouldn't bend the tubes though they might snap off.

Still using the OEM line on my WG after a 2" lift. No problems, works fine. Eventually I will replace it with stainless but I need some chrome clamps first...

When I had Jackyl's 2" lift on my bike I used the stock hose. It was up against the frame like yours but never had any problems with it.

I used Jackyl's 2" lift, also. My tube looks like yours, also. I have had no issues with it. Doesn't it make it right, but if it ain't broke don't fix it.
