I'm no fan of Pac Brakes kit,but at this point in time they're the only ones with a truck specific kit.
I run Transdapts dual filter set-up,but it needs a bit of work to fit a truck.

Lots of threads on options here, and for the most part they work great for most… just be aware they also introduce more potential failure points.


If I try this again, I’ll probably just DIY since there are a lot of writeups on that and the hose/fitting selection would be on me. Some of the DIYs look really nice.

I had a Transdapt kit on a 2017 Rebel I used to own. Sorry, I didn't take any pics of that setup. IIRC I mounted the remote filter to the frame just behind the front bumper. up as high on the frame as I could mount it. Making sure it wasn't so far forward that it would drain onto the inside of the bumper.

I will say that as a side note, 4th gens have more remote filter mounting options that 5th gens.
