I have an oil bypass setup but I do not think you are going to get much help with moving stock filter. To many issues. Why do you want to change location?

I am not all knowing when it comes to our trucks but I do not recall seeing a kit to do what you want.

Amsoil has both a single filter relocation and a dual filter relocation system. The single just moves the filter away from the stock location to wherever you like, usually used in twins setups where it just gets too tight in that area to get to the filter easily. Their dueal system moves the primary filter and adds a secondary bypass filter to take out the soot.

You might want to check out their website and see if it has what you are looking for. I have the dual system, it works great, I installed it when I installed my twin turbos.

Companies like Jegs and Summit Racing will have what you need. If you want a durable set up that won't leak, you'll need to spend a little coin.

The cheaper kits are cast aluminum. They tend to crack and leak. Spend the money and get billet aluminum block adapters and filter mounts.

Rubber hose and hose clamps are another source of leaks and failures. Once again, spend a bit more money on AN lines and fittings. Braided SS looks the best (IMO), but it's also the heaviest, most expensive, and most difficult to work with. The newer Russel push lock hose is probably a better choice.

One of the biggest problems with a remote filter is pressure drop. Use -10 lines to prevent this. You can move up to a -12, but there's no performance advantage and it's more difficult to work with.
