2.7 Intake spacer advice

My 2010 regular cab taco is still at the stealership getting it's new frame. I've got the intake spacer for when I get my truck back. I'd like everyone's input on the hoses that needs to be replaced when installing the spacer. Any advice and tips would be appreciated. I'm ready to start having fun with my truck!

 

the tooter spacer right? or one of the other guys who makes it. as far as i recall, there was only one hose i needed to replace, and it was on the back side of the motor. if you go through the tooter thread, someone mentions what diameter hoses you need to do the connection. i remember it having to be two different hoses i had to connect together with a small piece of brake like and some clamps. and it would have been easier to put in the bottom portion before you put the manifold back on.

the only place i got hung up with the installation was the bending of the rods for the lower manifold. took me a couple times of going through the thread for figure everything out

 

Levilexi, thank you! I appreciate the advice I get here at T.W!
