It's got about 5" of spring lift and 1.25" of body, so I'm hoping to be able to raise the 617 high enough for clearance. And I don't see an issue moving the 617 to one side an inch or two.

Good luck.

Fawk it...It can wait. Once I get the 617 in and running, then I'll diddle with filter.

Jim Something, from Series Trek. That's where I saw the pics of a plate like that - on his site...Thanks for triggering the memory...I spoke to him about 6 months ago, When I get the 617 in, I'll give him a call

Some details on the YJ -

The plan is to install the 617, convert it to WVO, and turn the YJ *back* into my daily driver/trail rig. I've been running a 98 Sububan on WVO for almost 3 years now, so that part I'm fine with...
