You just made 2 threads saying the same thing.

If you dont want a body lift, then your options are to mount the engine lower or cut your hood.

Body lift is the best choice, just make your bumper sit up higher, and it's not even noticeable..

Sorry to say, but body lifts are a last resort in my book. But, thats an option too.

I opted for the 1" body lift for my swap. Makes many other things much easier but I get not wanting a body lift as well.

Personally I dig the backwards facing scoops myself.
