When I spoke to the crew at Dieselsite, they said there was one other person that they were aware of that had the same clearance issue as me and their recommendation was to loosen the housing bolts and let the unit sag a bit, before tightening everything down. She said that has always worked in the past. When I tried that method, it dropped the unit maybe 1/32", which was nowhere near enough. I have modified the holes now on the mount on the housing side and tightened the bolts back down. It has given me up to a 1/2" drop. Hopefully I can try again tonight to install after work. After messing around with this last night, it really looks like the only time consuming part of the job is re-priming the system (assuming the mounts give you the clearance you need without modification). I will report back once complete. Thanks for the support guys.

I know that this video is a plug for Cummins filtration/fleetguard, but I wonder if Ford has the same features on the filter? RAM currently has 2 filters, both with WIF sensors and both drainable as well. Both are also 5 micron filters I believe. And both have a hydrophobic filter layer in there as well. Of course, the bad part is that a pair of filters is just under 100 bucks for my truck. This was honestly something that I took into consideration when moving from my F-150 to an HD truck.
I wonder if Ford's filters pas SAE J1488 as sited in the video below.

Cummins Filtration is making some high tech filters, but it seems they are saving the good stuff for - Cummins.
Google the Cummins Stratpore oil filters - some good stuff there. I already contacted Cummins and they do not make a Stratapore filter for our trucks.

These fuel filters would be a great addition to the Ford factory filter and - or the DieselSite dual filter unit.
