    :cheers:

    Yeah buddy! The extra length on the springs should really help articulation, and the higher spring rate will help with all the weight. From what I've read/seen it's a solid set up when done right. But that's the hard part considering I'll have to cut everything stock off and weld on all new everything.

    Love this house, but after Kayla and Sumner left it got a bit expensive. I hate moving, it's a PITA, but has to happen.

    That's what you said the last time and you ended up making 12+ trips. Let us know and we'll have a convoy of rigs to do it in one trip. :)

    Thanks brother!

    Hahaha true. I want to rent a big ass moving van or something. Using the trucks was a PITA.
    We’ll definitely need help with Bre’s treadmill, that thing is heavy!

    Cowl snorkel complete :)

    Initial test drive had zero issues, but only time will tell.
    Also added a filter wrap around the end of the tube to aid in filtering out crap from getting into the new intake tube.
    Custom stickeeers means +10hp :cool:
    (Butt dyno does not feel the +10, but it’s there)

    Here are the only pics I took before putting it back together.

    Could cut the tube shorter, I’d say ~2” off the end making it 10” overall would have been better, but I don’t have a good way to cut the tube down.

    Blue thing is a k&n filter wrap.

    Whole project didn’t take much time. Most “intimidating” was cutting the hole because I didn’t have a good way of installing the tube into the coupler and having it butt up against the cowl. Eyeballed it, and used pictures to position it where I did. Drilled a pilot hole then went for it.
