The biggest downside is with eco hubs and original gears even in mode 1st gear down steep slopes you’re ridding the brakes way more. With just original gears mode 1st does a good job at keeping to a crawl down steep grades.

Traveled 20,000 mile on highway gears 3.07. Changed back to original gears and eco hubs this past fall and traveled another 14,000 miles. I definitely recommend the original gears and eco hubs. Any more loss of power and I really would not be happy.

So correct on flat mounting a winch relying on the 4 bolts is taking the bolts to max capacity. Rotate the winch 90 degrees and weld the heck out of it and then puts the stress on the bottom and not the bolts.

For the record screw in the longest 3/8 bolt into the end of the shaft and it will give you leverage to reinstall it.

Just measured the rear outside to outside of the shackle mount is 34 1/2, front is 34. So a 1/4” spacer on each side for the front and you’re golden!

If anyone needs more photos of mine, let me know! My number one goal was keeping it tucked as close to the cross member tube as possible. I do like the idea of your design especially if it fit the rear! Then could possibly keep it on the rear and move it forward when needed.

Find a donor vehicle and buy the used transmission.

What! No machine gun that’s bull s….!!!

Cut them off and made my own connectors.

I just made my own. Connecting it to the truck. Back before they were available. 10 years ago.

Mine measures in at 51”

So what’s a clear sign the original shock is bad? what I’m experiencing is when off roading (large rocks, holes, weight shifting side to side) very slowly I experience a lot of body roll and quickly stop the vehicle wait for it to settle down before proceeding. But on the road and I hit a...

So the other day I bought one Monroe 65456 shock. Took one of my front shocks off of my 2003 truck. The Monroe compressed and rebounded way way easier than my old original shock. So I returned the Monroe and reinstalled the original shock. Next I would like to get my hands on a NOS shock and...

I’ve driven mine over 34,000 miles and hundreds of off road miles. Yes the front axle steering u joints clunk when in mode! Makes a terrible noise. It doesn’t even require full lock turning I’ve experienced it in half turn primary when there is good traction. This past fall I replaced the drive...

Y’all are to funny! So you can sleep better at night, our parking brakes work by letting the air out of the brake cans and then the 4 separate brake cans have extremely strong springs that engage the brakes. The lack of air is a good thing. Highly unlikely all the springs would fail. Typically...

I’m guessing yes but some solid data or real life measurements is the only way to really know.

Also it looks like the Monroe shock comes with 1” top and bottom bushing ID any thoughts on sleeving the with 1” OD bushings with a 16mm and 22mm ID’s? Couldn’t find the length of the Monroe bushing? Actually I think I found it 1 3/4” what’s the original shock bushing length?

Seriously considering the Monroe Shocks 65456 for my 27,800 lb m1079A1 converter to a motorhome. Every thing seems doable. Any long term test results?
