Default AEVsnorkle with aftermarket fenders..

So has anyone done a AEV snorkle on a 2016/3.6...with aftermarket fenders? I have Rugger Ridge flattie fenders . and AEV says their snorkle isnt compatible with anything but stock fenders,,,,,thinking its busha busha to cover thier butt.. but curious what snorkle anyone is running and if not with factory flares...I'm pretty sure my fenders are below the stock fender line and should not pose a problem...tnx for any help

IDK, that snorkel is pretty contoured right there to the fender. I can't say I've seen one myself with aftermarket flares, but I would probably lean towards no with your flares that are much more flat on top. I bet you start to get a bit of clearance issue right in here -




Curious to hear if someone has done this.

Ive done this on my 2007 with xenon plastic flares. No fitment issues.

why not use the rugged ridge snorkel? Those tall snorkles look dumb.

This is just one picture I've got off hand of the rugged ridge snorkel with the low mount. It won't bother with the fenders.
