You may be best off doing an ebay intake or making one yourself. Any ones that I have seen that are name brand are going to need the wheel wells to bolt to.

Do you have the stock air box and intake still? How is that working with the body lift?

Yeah, nothing is going to work unless you mod it. You can get the Airaid CAI without the tube for about $150. Then, run ABS to the throttle body. The Airaid CAI that doesnt have the tube uses the stock air box though. I believe its called the "QuickFit"

The Airaid Modular Intake tube can be purchased seperatly for about $100, but in Dakkkota's case, I would just run some 3 inch pipe to the throttle body.

Yup, it sits on top of the box, and then has a shield that goes to the hood. Its not a really tight seal because air can get in from the side by the fender. But by using the stock box, it made it alot easier to route my bumper scoop.
