Default Bushwhackers + Safari Snorkel Mounting

How do you make Bushwhackers, or the Napier V2, fit with a snorkel? I know I've seen an image before of it. I have the Safari which goes about 1" below that lip on the fender, and the Bushwhackers screw in right underneath that same lip.

I don't want to trim the flare to fit. I want someone to produce a magical way to just make it work as is out of the box.

Well that's pretty much what you are going to have to do. Unless you have the Bushwacker flat fenders. If you have the pocket style flares, trimming is required.

Or do what mean cherokee said but if you dont want to get rid of either plan on trimming a little bit of that flare.

Actually the snorkel drops about 1/2-1" below the bodyline so when running Bushwaker Pocketstyle flares you have to notch out some of the flare to make it fit upagainst the snorkel.
