Filter Relocation

Hey guys I am wondering if anybody has relocated their oil and fuel filters? I am wanting to put a pre luber on to my truck and the space is limited, and it is just a pain to take off my oil filter. Same with the fuel filter, is there any way to relocate them? Also who makes the best pre luber? I have been looking at ESP the makers of the brand pre luber, but I don't know how good they are.

Thanks
Much Appreciated

I copied an article about building a pre-lube. It seems to me it came off of this newsgroup but I don't remember. If you're interested in it send me a note with an e-mail address and I'll send you a copy.

Are there any kits available to relocate the oil filter? If not what is needed to achieve this?

Thanks

I'm not understanding what relocating the oil filter buys you except possibly easier filter changes and a bunch more potentially leaky hoses and fittings.

This, coming from a guy that probably has more aftermarket hoses and fittings for various things on the truck than anyone. But the stock oil filter is still where it started. That's one of the most critical engine accesories. I wouldn't mess with it.
