Re: air filter
I'd go bigger. Put a Purolator Filter #PA30067 on it. It fit your base and is 4 inches tall. that's what I have on mine

Re: air filter
JUST PUT AN XTREME LID ( THE LID A FILTER ALSO ) & IT wont make any difference how tall the rest of the filter is . the filter lids are even more effective with a cowl hood blowing colder air down thru it .

Re: air filter
Personally I wouldn't run an open element air filter on a 4wd. Not if your wheeling in any wet areas.

But if you still want to, K&N makes a prefilter that will help out with that

Re: air filter
I would modify the stock air cleaner. So you can use a taller filter and get alittle more air.
