I don't have a great picture of it, but you can see it in these pics:

Thanks..
With you not having stock control arms you have a lot of clearance. My stock control arm is directly below the filter and I don't think the angle one would give any more clearance.
I'll double check though.
I believe that you can drop a Gen3 Hemi out of a Ram (like mine) into a stock TJ without having to modify the oil filter assembly.
It will absolutely smash the oil filter into the passenger side upper control arm/mount. Even with a short oil filter…

Are you sure about that? Which Hemi is in yours?
100% sure. My 5.7 is the Ram ‘03-‘08 5.7 Hemi. Right now I am sitting on stock height springs. I could not even use a short filter without interference. No way an angled adapter could work. It would make things even worse…
I had to block off the oil filter location and remote mount it to my inner fender…
Good to know. Out of curiosity I pulled out my copy of Red Rock’s Hemi conversion guide. Sure enough, they recommend a 3” lift. I bet thats one of the reasons.
Did your Ram Hemi come with that angled adapter? I thought that thing was on every Ram of that generation. Mine is an ‘06.
Same setup with mine except I have 2" spring spacers front and rear.100% sure. My 5.7 is the Ram ‘03-‘08 5.7 Hemi.

Would you happen to have any pictures of where/how you mounted the remote filter.?
Not a lot of open real estate under there..
Thanks in advance..
I will get a picture or two soon. It is put up for the Ohio Winter. I have the Metalcloak aluminum inner fenders, so my space is even less than normal…
I have the H&R 1” lift springs I am about to install in a month. I really think any lift less than 4” wouldn’t help clearance enough to make me feel comfortable running an oil filter on the block…
Sounds good.
I agree, and will definitely be getting a relocate kit and like to see examples to help me decide on location.
Thanks
Here's the best picture I have right now from my archives during install. You can see it's directly above the mount and an angle mount wouldn't be any better.

Yeah, I really don't think the high flow cat will do anything for the sound, but definitely will clean up the exhaust.
Did you happen to get any time to take some oil filter pictures yet?
Check out Jeeps speed shop v8 swappers, there is a lot of good info on Hemi swaps and making them fit in our Jeeps. I’m sure there is some info on getting the right oil filter housing. https://m.facebook.com/groups/239426624562458/?ref=share&mibextid=zoDNOU

I feel like it’ll make contact with other stuff first before the filter.Thanks for those.
I see they mounted it on the round crossmember right behind the front bumper. Looks good. I really hadn't given that location much thought. I was trying to find a place on the inside of the frame rail.
Does it show from the front at all or interfere with approach angle?
