Default K&N air intake kit

Has anyone tried to install a K&N filter intake kit on a truck with a 3" body lift?

There are only two options as I see it:

1. Install a 3" spacer between the throttle body and intake tube.

a. Will this allow to much air flow/turbulance and cancle out the kit?

b. Will the sensor still be able to adjust mixture?

2. Cut and adjust the tube at the heat sheild box.

I spoke with K&N and they have no data as they have not done any testing due to a body lift.

Someone has had to attempt this prior to me, if you have any thoughts please post em..

Techs???

Thanks

I can't believe no one has any input on this?

Must not be that many trucks around with a body lift and K&N filter set up?

I just got two 1.5" inch spacers to combine; I plan on installing them today.

I will provide an update later.

Your better off building new brackets to make it fit, rather than adding a tb spacer. some metal pipe tape can help hold the intake up. If you are willing to machine a TB spacer, you should have now problems machining new brackets.

Thanks for the reply.........
I got hold of a 1 1/2" air cleaner riser and installed that between the K&N intake and TB. It seems to be working fine.....
I need to check the OBD II so I can see what the air fuel mixture is doing?
Not sure how much the 1 1/2" spacer has effected flow and the air/fuel mixture settings?

Later
