Looks like factory stock height to me. Do you have any other pics, and tire size on the pickup in the picture? I have a poor man's 2" lift on mine, and mine looks to have a lot more lift than that one. Did a 1" ORD Body Lift, new poly body bushings, and 1" ORD Zero Rates, that netted me an...

I run 315/70R17 Treadwright retreads on BF Goodrich carcasses on my M1008. . They actually measure 33.5" at 35 psi, specs say 34.7" at 50 psi. These tires might work without any lift, but would probably be very close when flexed out. Have a 1" ORD body lift with new body mounts and ORD 1" Zero...

Shopped around a bit and got a Detroit Locker ordered. Is for a set of M1008 axles we are putting under a civilian K30 project. My shop mechanic and my 17 year old son will do the install. They completely tore down and rebuilt the rear 14FF, and then had another mechanic check out the gear set...

Thank You 86m1028! That means this should be what I need http://www.jegs.com/i/Detroit+Locker/357/225SL29A/10002/-1

What is the spline count on a M1008 Dana 60, 30 or 35? Need to order a Detroit Locker. Anybody know the Detroit part/model number I need? And yes, I have searched with no luck. I search other forums with no problems, but seldom am ever able to find anything searching this forum. I'm not the...

Not tying to be negative, but why? I know of several CUCVs with the Doghead relay mod without a cover with no problems, and have never heard of needing a cover before.

Be sure to install one of these, http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/steeringkit.htm or you risk cracking the frame at the steering box when running oversize tires.

I have the axle pushed one inch forward on my M1008, and steering is not a problem. for a mainly street rig, 1 1/2" forward may not be a problem, but would most likely not be ideal for offroad use. With 1 1/2" forward, crossover steering may be best.

Do a 1" body lift with new body mounts, and 1" zero rates for 2" of easy and cheap lift. Also use the zero rate to move the front axle forward 1.5" http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/Zero%20Rates.htm , http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/oneinchlift.htm , and...

Can't seem to locate a transmission line for my M1008. Local Napa has searched hi and low, but says it is unavailable. Internet searches have come up empty handed also. From TM 9-2320-289-20P pages142-143 Transmission Oil Cooler Line, part #14045628, PIPE ASM-TRNS Oil C (80.64" LG), make...

Every day. General farm/ranch use: errands to town, pulling a flatbed full of bales, fixing fence, hauling cattle to pasture, hauling 2,000-2,500 pallets of salt/mineral/feed, stretching woven wire, backup school vehicle, picking up groceries, etc.. Mainly gravel and dirt roads, but once in a...

Here is another http://www.stockinteriors.com/moldedvinyl.asp?Itemid=13124&MakeId=31&ModelId=88

LMC is another option, but I have no personal experience to judge quality of construction and fit. Maybe someone who has used them will chime in. Rubber floor here http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cc/full.aspx?Page=135 Sound deadener and heat shield kits here...

I currently have four sets on various pickups and a medium duty truck, 16's, 17's, and 19.5's with absolutely no problems. These are on daily driver pickups, heavy hauling light duty 1 ton pickup and medium duty Ford F550 4x4 truck, and on road/off-road/farm use 3/4 & 1 Ton light duty...
