Default 2 Questions regarding snorkel and Rock Rails

Hey everyone so my first question is if anyone knows when/if they are coming out with a snorkel for the 2012 3.6L models?

and second question is now with my 35's my rock rails get in the way, so i was wondering if anyone knows of rock rails that give me a little more clearance, or how hard it is to cut through the mopar rock rails?

Thanks

You can cut the rock rails with a saw all and a metal blade. If you cut it clean enough you can put the plastic cap back on

Measure and mark it out real good then cut it. A sawzall will work but won't get you the most precise cut. I would use a porta band or grinder with a cutting wheel myself.

AEV snorkel should be out by the first of August and the ARB snorkel should be available by the end of the year is what I've been told.
