You will have to make it wider with a second pair of tubes and braces if you want to swap front to rear - at least on the 1008 etc. not sure about the 1009. Spacing is different.

since the OP has a M1008 - try this link (M1031 with a standard M1008 box) http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?128432-The-best-receiver-hitch-for-M1028&p=1610303&viewfull=1#post1610303

Off topic a bit - searched but can't find, has anyone done a full link to maxifuse or circuit breaker swap?

Yep, with even 8,000# towed on a mild hill is slower than the speed of thought in a news anchor...

Put a Class five 2" receiver hitch on my M1031. I used a Reese Towpower 51016, no cutouts needed. Although I did do a small reduction in the depth of the hitch side panel to increase clearance. I also moved the hitch crossbar slightly forward so the 1/2" pin holes lined up with the pintle...

I used the overload spring from a K3500 and cut it down with a waterjet to the same length as the existing one, zero rates and a bunch of the shims used between springs on many GM trucks (but not ours) and ended up with almost 4". I also added the 3-leaf medium duty helper spring (instead of the...

OK - but what about the Hutchinson rubber beadlock runflats? Those things are easily 4" thick...

I used a Reese Towpower 51016, no cutouts needed. Although I did do a small reduction in the depth of the hitch side panel to increase clearance. I also moved the hitch crossbar slightly forward so the 1/2" pin holes lined up with the pintle base holes so I could tie together with a 9/16" grade...

tire sizes LAV used Michelin 11.00x16 XL or XZL on 6.5" rim then later they used Michelin 325/85R16 XML on 9.5" rim. Both 38.7" dia. 9.00x16 are 36.3" and should fit with almost no lift or trimming if springs are in good shape. Same size as the STA LT28M tires the military often bought for...

What angle should it be at and how? bend the mount? make new link?

So..... after reading everything I am more confused than before, from the press release "On Aug. 12, the issue was fully resolved when EPA officials told DLA that after fully studying the issue, the agency will continue to recognize the national security exemptions for transferred equipment...

Bottle jack. I'd really have to lift the truck high to get the jack under the axle and springs but I'm thinking if I do one side at at time and remount the springs on the axle then lift with the jack under one end of the spring, the other side would keep from twisting. Truck is a long way from...

Anyone have tips on how to remove/replace the rear springs on a 1008/1028? Specifically how to access the nut on the forward end of the spring? The rest is easy... except for how to lift the new springpacks up by myself (9+K3500 overload+zerorate with K3500 3 leaf helper = almost 180#)...

Done (a while back actually). Was wondering about the tach harness from LMC...

Did you ever install an OEM 4k rpm diesel tach?

And how it is measured (with sides up, including drawbar etc etc) which is why I was hoping someone who had one could measure it... but there might still be manufacturer differences so I guess the manufacturers name also would be useful...

What exactly are the bed dimensions? Have heard anything from 138x72 to 220x75...

I'll buy one from you - as long as tires will hold air long enough to be towed home!

Nope - that's a car transmission. The ZF-S650 6 Speed Duramax manual tranny
