Front driveshaft clearance on the 6.0?

Hi everyone

For those running a 4x4 E350 with the 6.0, do you have any oil filter clearance issues with your front driveshaft? Did you need to relocate the oil filter? I'm installing my front driveshaft and looks like might will clear but I'm not convinced it will once the suspension starts to articulate. Curious how it looks for those with the 6.0, on my 7.3 it wasn't an issue.

Thanks
David

I think Timberline used to mention relocating the filter on 6.0 builds.

Mine hits the oil filter. I’ve looked and moving it but it’s a big undertaking. The driveline scrapes the side of the filter only if I’m really hitting it hard. I kept an eye on it but felt it was a risk I could live with. Not a worry any longer as the Godzilla swap is underway.
