Yea its a 4 th gen. Everyone's seems to think it won't fit, but it will. I just don't want to cut the cowl any more than I have to.

If you went with this kmember from BMR:
http://bmrsuspension.com/?page=products&productid=1160

You could have the pedestals shortened an inch or so, whatever clearance you have from the oil pan to the member, which will gain you clearance, then you could always space down the kmember to the chasis as well and gain some more clearance. I'm not sure how the overall impact would be with the driveline angles and suspension pickups/geometry, but it's worth a shot.

This is what you want to do. its been done a number of times with success, no ill effects.
