No sweat. I would still mount the pump as low as you can. You'll have the same effect as when you siphon gas.
I would also recommend buying this pump and be done with it. I ran these pierburg pumps for years without failure.

Just wondering... will these pumps work on any motor? My 2002 Chev 5.3 motor specifically.
Apparently you don't need a buggy, you need a honda civic
I wonder if there's a steel wheel from late 2nd Gen Dodge trucks you could use? They are offset pretty deep. Likely about 1/2" narrower than your H2 wheels? Seems like I was 77-78" with H1/38" TSL SX and I am at 81-82" with H2 and 38x14.50" Kevlars. With alloy Dodge wheels and 37" Creepy Crawlers, I was much closer to the H1 setup than I am to the H2 setup. I'd guess that at about 79-80"? Adding beadlocks to a stock Dodge wheel might get you back out around 82-83"?
I've decided to start going down the "street legal" path.
Anybody running this 43" SX's have any problems with normal beadlocks? I know the bead on these tires are a tad obese.
Please post up your progress and experiences with this.
Thanks Herzog!
I don't have any current experience with this set up BUT, I have a set of 43 SX's stickies that should be here this week. I have a set of OMF beadlocks that I will be mounting them to. I called OMF last week to get some new hard wear and while on the phone with them they mentioned because of the bead size I will need to run shims (basically and anti-coning ring). If I get to mounting them before you have your wheels I will post up my experience with mounting them.
I am curious about your inner air locks. Did they not keep pressure at all or was it a slow leak? How did you pop the tubes? Were your tires are a super low pressure and just pinched the tube? I have ran them before and actually liked them. I have ran them twice and on both rigs there was always one tire that didn't keep pressure but the tubes held just fine. I read on Pirate (from an expert on the matter as most people on pirate are) that the 43 SX's on a 17's or 16.5's "burp" air at a low pressure and eventually cause the bead to break away. This right here is what is causing me to second guess my wheel decision. If I didn't just powder coat my wheels I would be all about buying your inner air locks from you.
What about a Garmin GPS for a speedo? This is one of the screens I can display on mine. The travel speed shows on most of the screens.
I just have an app for my phone that uses the GPS for a speedometer. Works with or without service, and it was free. It's called DigiHUD (HUD for Heads Up Display.)
Add a mount for your phone on your dash and be done.
