Default Proud Rhino 1.0" Lift, OEM Raised Air Intake, Cross Bars, New Tires (Again)

So I had an issue with three of the five BFG tires that I purchased previously. Simply put, they were out of spec so much so that you could feel the misshapen tires at low speeds as well as high speed. Swapped to the same size 275/55/20 Nitto Ridge Grappler (E Load Range part number 217330) that are 32.13" tall.

I also tossed on the OEM Raised Air Intake (snorkel) and the OEM cross bars along with the Proud Rhino 1.0" lift from Lucky8.

Here's the results:

Did the snorkel make any noticeable difference in terms of audible noise from the engine (in a good way) ?

Ironically it did. Mainly because the pickup is nearest the driver window now.

Default Raised intake

Interested to know if you noticed that the raised intake obstructed any of your view of the drivers side A pillar? It looks like it would.

You can’t even see it from the drivers seat.

Thanks. I live in a 100 year old home in Downtown Birmingham, AL and my garage door is very typical for the states, it fits in access mode with the cross bars installed.
