If your lifting yours you should go to a regular adapter an filter. No lines to leak that way. You'll have plenty of room to get to it after the lift. It's a little tight before but still easier than that sideways junk that's on there. You loose your oil cooler though, but it's no biggie, even less lines to worry with then.
