What lift kit will 37" tires fit on my M1008

[Safaritowman]

What is the shortest lift kit that I can run 37" tires on my M1008? And who makes a good kit?

Another ? here, Do you get rid of the 5/4 ton springs? If someone has, I may be interested in buying them off you. (F & R)

 

[Safaritowman]

Well If I do I can bring them to you im going to be in Winona for Christmas. Thinking about a 4" lift spring front and 3" blocks rear. Any thoughts?

 

[axlr8]

Sounds good, what would you be thinking on price?

My lift details are linked in my signature.

 

[Cucvnut]

look at my lift also its a little more involved than most on here though.

 

[Shrapnel]

Lift isn't required if you trim your fenders. My M1010 is rolling on 37's with no lift. You don't get a lot of articulation that way, however...

 

[Safaritowman]

awsome I think 4" lift springs and 3" rear blocks will work. With this combo will I need brake lines and shocks? Here is what he looks like now.

 

[Cucvnut]

yes you need longer brake lines and shocks and the correct steering set up.

 

[axlr8]

well we all are wondering, what is the "correct" steering set up?

For a 4 inch lift a drop pitman arm has always worked best for me. 4 inches is not enough unless you plan to cut the fender, the tires will hit on turns. 6 inch is the way to go. All the lift kits are made in china so you are paying for name only unless you find a used older Rancho kit like what I run.

I did a 4 inch front spring new shocks drop pitman arm 2 inch rear blocks and flaked on the new brake lines (bad idea) so now new brake lines all 3 . really only need the 2 front ones if you stick with the stock rear springs and 3'' or less. although i am only running 35s at the moment i have fit my 37'' tires on the truck the will really rub on the 16.5x12 rims with 4 inch backspace just dont know if i can bring myself to chop the fenders. but it looks like a mad badger from the front.

I was thinkin about useing springs from a m200 and restaking all 4 corners that way i gotbetter payload and lift all in one . I have done this with stock springs before and got good reults so now im thinkin lets go heavier . Will find out soon .

I like a 4" lift myself. Don't let anybody tell you a 37 won't fit with it either. I'm running 40s on 5" up front and 3" on the rear.


Backspacing of the rims and tire width have a lot to do with what fits and what hits!

 

[Reverend Evil]

my 37s are a little over board . 37x12.5x16.5 on a 16.5x12 with 4 inch back space a little wide for the front when turned. so gonna have to trim the fenders but not much.

 

[Croatan_Kid]

I'd say so! I bet those are a painnnn to mount up.... you'd need a sizeable bead cheeta!

 

[Reverend Evil]

I got really lucky a local tire shop does tires for our 4x4 club all the time so he was happy to mount and balance them for 35 each.

 

[Croatan_Kid]

Wooooof! 35 a piece? I'd happily mount and balance them for that price too...by hand!

Mine has a 6"

What is the shortest lift kit that I can run 37" tires on my M1008? And who makes a good kit?

I picked up my 1028 with a 6" lift installed before I got it. The truck runs on 37" tires with room to spare front and back. I believe the frames are the same. Just my 2 cents

 

[Cucvnut]

what frames ?
