Get a vacuum indicator (many truck and industrial engine air cleaners have them), they lock on to show the biggest vacuum your engine pulls on the intake.
If it reads excessively high (usually a red zone on the scale) then you've probably got a blocked filter or restriction somewhere.
Most 4wd aircleaners are massively oversized for dust capacity. You won't starve your engine of air with a smaller one until it's got a shovel full of sand in it.
