    Yeah, works fine without spacers. It looks like it won't clear but trust me it will when it closes down

    I actually just the did the installation on my truck with the exact intake. Unfortunately, as i completed the installation and went to close the hood, it didn’t clear the intake box.
    @SpikerEng any help on how i can fix the issue without any crazy modifications??

    I've had mine in for over a year. Excellent product and the most useful improvement I've made to the truck.

    That intake is going to be problematic. We have had customers who made it work with different brackets that we supplied, so that may be an option for you. Please contact me to discuss the details and options.

    I only had the intake for about 15 days, so i submitted for refund on the intake. I’m going to shop around and look for an intake that will fit wihtout having to remove the top bracket on the struts and drill new holes.
    Thanks for your help though. If i run into anymore issues, i’ll make sure to contact you guys. @SpikerEng

    Sounds good - see post 9 for some discussion of compatibility with aftermarket air intakes.

    Installed yesterday (01.09.2021) probably the most practical improvement (or mod) I have made to this truck. Left you guys (Spiker) feedback on your site as well. :thumbsup:
