Looks like you need a real air filter.  I hate those little sand sucking VW filters like you show in your pics.  They are not the best filtering system out there...  ;)

Those old school shackle reverse kits and a SOA sure make that rig sky high.  I bet it will be a handfull on the road and extremely top heavy and tippy while you are wheeling. Just my .02  :beerwhack:
