The variable rates don't fit the older style lower control arms very well. So what are you trying to do? Are you looking for a softer ride? I assume wanting to go with M998 springs that's what you're going for. A M998 is a 7700lbs chassis your M1037 is a 8660lbs chassis. The higher the weight...

I agree with Recovery on the shackle flip. This truck really will never see off road. Unfortunately I will lose the locker for now. The 14 bolt locker wont work in the Dana 70. The SRW hubs on the DRW axle will make it 77" wide perfect for the Hmmwv wheels.
Spent the day swapping in a Dana 70 dually rear axle and a 4" lift. Still need to add the 14 bolt SRW rear hubs to the rear Dana 70 and add the dually hubs to the front Dana 60. I also need to install the crossover steering, steering box brace, braided brake lines and rear disc brakes.

The film was based on the creation of a "mythical" super fighter: the MiG-31 Firefox. The original Firefox from the novel was, cosmetically, nearly identical to the MiG-25.[4] The more intimidating...
If you find a factory nut strip or make them grind the corners off and grind off any extra material to the nuts on both ends. Not much room to get these in and taking off that little bit really helps.
