I need some new wheels and tires for transplanting 1 ton axles into the M1009.
I've read every post multiple times on SS and other sites about H1 wheels on 1 ton axles under an M1009. Even printed them all out. Mucho paper. Lots of posts around this topic but none found on the install described below.
Here's the existing set-up:
10 bolt stock 3.08's. No lift. Same leaf springs, bilstein shocks, etc..
Here's the newly built axle set:
M1028 donor D60 and 14 boltFF.
D60 has new spicer joints/ bearing and seals/ 3.73 Yukons / ARB's, and slightly modified drive shaft. This will bolt right in.
14FF has a 2 inch shave, new bearing and seals/ 3.73 yukons / ARB's ( a little hogging to make fit ) Disc brakes with the caddy calipers. Double cardon drive shaft, relocated perches and shock mounts, same leaf springs.
I need some wheels that fit. Lift is out. Would like no fender trim, if possible. Has anyone installed H1's on a non-lifted, 1ton axle equipped M1009, not using spacers? How much backspace on the recenter job? The H1's are 16.5 rims 3400lb load rating. What size tire did you use? What would be the tallest tire without fender trimming and/or rubbing. If you did a fender trim how much fender trim, if any and where?
The alternative seems to be aftermarket beadlocks and/or 8x6.5 chevy rims, minimum 16 inch wheels.
As always, thanks much for all comments.
