Oil filter, bellhousing brace conflict

The kit #MRE2402103 is the right one . Yes you can R&R the filter from below. Still is a messy job.
Now this is just me but I run small filters. A NAPA Gold #FIL 1348 or any for a Chrysler PT Cruiser.
Same gasket and spin on as the older Mopars.OR you can get the PT Cruiser Turbo filter, It's a little longer but the width
of the case is the same. My theory is we car nuts change oil more often and never let a oil change go longer to cause any clogs
or problems. In the photo is the Turbo STP filter. Now that's just me.Been doing it for years.

Thanks Darter6, appreciate the info, thanks for getting back. I may go that route.
