Oil Filter Re-Location

I was wondering if any body knows of an Oil Filter Re-Location kit for a 351w that uses braided stainless lines? I tried searching but got nothing. Changing the filter is a pain in trhe butt for us short people on a lifted Bronco. Thanks for the help!

Keep in mind there is a wrong way to hook the filter relocator up so follow any directions closely. I haven't seen it personally but have came across many stories on the use of the oil filter relocator and no oil being circulated throughout the engine. Again I can't say from real experience but have read about it. later

i have found the kits, but none that have braided stainless hoses. Is there a way to just retrofit them? of do they need to be a certain kind of hose?

Where the filter is located is my only complaint about my Ford..... but on a positive note, it ain't going get hit by road debris or wacked by rocks when 4 wheeling where it is hidden!
